Hello guys, welcome to Kurious K podcast. My name is Kolapo and I am excited to announce that I will be launching my podcast where I will be meeting some of the most amazing startup founders in Nigeria and across Africa and everyone playing in the space to make entrepreneurship thrive.

We will be exploring how they see opportunities and taking the first step to launch their business. Based on World Bank’s 2020 Doing business report, Nigeria ranks 131 out of 190 countries on the world bank doing business index. These factors are not enough to deter young, energetic folks across Nigeria to build great businesses. We will have conversation with early stage entrepreneurs to business that have raised series of investments to-policy makers, intrapreneurs and everything in between.

We will discuss the struggles and failures associated with building business in Nigeria and Africa. How entrepreneurs bootstrapped their businesses to raising their first check, acquiring the first paying customer, impact of government policies on their businesses. The drama, the unexpected breakthrough and the sheer excitement of building something people admire and are willing to pay for.

So if you looking to build something, currently running a startup or you want to get a sneak peak into the real story of sweat, tears and blood and ultimately the excitement of building something in Africa ....this show is for you.
