In this episode, we have a conversation with Zanele Abraham Matome. She is a world class entrepreneur and visionary who has turned her sights on her newest project, Welo. Welo is a Medicine delivery company that provides families with peace of mind and convenience when dealing with every day medicine purchases or monthly subscriptions. Zanele knew she had the mindset for the startup scene and when she saw how inaccessible medical care could be for the people in her community, especially during a global pandemic, an idea was born. During our conversation, she touches on incubator spaces, ideas for Africa and how to take a bet on yourself. Hope you enjoy the episode.

Coming out of University, Gloria Kasambwe couldn’t figure out why she was able to graduate university and get a job while so many of her mates growing up in rural Malawi had dropped out and were stuck in the cycle of poverty. Perplexed, she decided to research and take on the challenge of fixing that issue

In 2014, Vivian Nwakah decided to come to Nigeria for her business school internship. As an American born Nigerian she had only heard about the country and wanted to experience it for herself. She had only planned to be there for a few months, but after a tragic accident, she decided she had to help fix one of the biggest issues in the country, the broken pharmaceutical industry. That's when Medsaf was born.
