Venture Capital involves bringing investors together to co-finance portfolio start ups or early-staged companies. In emerging economies, characterised by low income and underdevelopment, this can be a catalyst to help facilitate their transition to advanced stages of industrialization. However, this is certainly not just a smooth ride as challenges involving risk factors and the overall market dynamics across various economies spring up.

In this episode, Boris Lacheros, an emerging VC investor, helps us decipher how start up companies especially tech startups can improve their attractiveness to investors and consequently contribute to economic growth.

The tech workforce has, for a long time, been skewed towards men. Efforts to promote diversity and inclusion are gaining momentum, striving to create a balanced environment that harnesses a wide range of perspectives and talents, driving innovation and sustainable growth in the industry. However the gap is still wide and begs many questions. Are women not interested in tech, or are they not being given enough opportunities to enter the tech space?

This podcast episode features founders Otema and Kwayakie of Because She Can(Instagram : @becauseshecan_), a Ghanaian initiative empowering women in tech through mentorship and collaboration. The discussion underscores the need to empower young women to challenge stereotypes and narrow the gender gap.

It’s pretty surreal to refer to myself as a techie. If you know me, you know that tech was the last thing I ever thought I would be doing as a career.

I have failed, somewhat succeeded, failed, succeeded, and the list goes on.

There are very brilliant minds I’ve had the chance to sit with, who have a lot to share. Or maybe, there are others who aren't necessarily techies but want to stay up to date with trends.

There are many unconventional tech stories out there that I’d like to hear. There are also others who are about to begin this tech journey and are clueless about what to do next.
