StartUP Africa, The Insiders: How African Millionaires are Made, S3, E6 | VOA Africa

From the inside out, Africans are transforming the tech industry for millions of people. We meet CEOs, some of whom are African millionaires, disrupting systems from the health sector to ensure that young Africans get the education they need for thriving, tech-savvy careers. We also look at successful failures, asking, “Do tech giants deliberately look for African entrepreneurs who might have had failed startups in the past as an indicator that they might be good candidates for success in the future?” And we hear what startups seek from tech giants, and the boundaries they should consider setting, in partnerships with big tech.
