Principles of Investing in Startups and Young Companies – Tekedia Mini-MBA Live

This is one course we offer with super-diligence at Tekedia Mini-MBA. Yes, we do not want our learners to think they can take some risks which they may not be prepared to handle. Yes, do not take money for Indomie noodles or diapers, and put it in a fintech, expecting alpha.

 Indeed, to protect our learners, our faculty members have focused on the “boring” investment stuff like bonds, stocks, mutual funds, treasury bills, etc. Our eminent faculty like Azeez Lawal, MD of Trusbanc Capital; Victor Ndukauba, DMD of Afrinvest West Africa; Victoria Madedor of Bank of Industry;  Japheth Jev of Japheth Consulting; and many others continue to deliver the best courses in the investment domain. 

Through them and other faculty members, Tekedia Institute has become a temple for the mastery of entrepreneurial business education in Africa. We have more learners here, on the broad business education than any university in Africa.

Yet, if you do not have knowledge, you are follow-follow in this world.  So, we do teach those principles on what investors think as they make investments in startups and young companies. I will be teaching, not as a Lead Faculty of Tekedia Institute, but as Chairman of Tekedia Capital, today. Together, we will understand the mechanics of investing in early stage companies for ACADEMIC purposes.

Yes, I missed investing in Kuda ( I explained here), but we invested in TAP (Cowry card) which grew from 1,000 to 3 million users in three years, and has delivered so much value that I can qualify for a chieftaincy title in the village now! Zoom link in the classroom.
