We fund entrepreneurs, not small business owners. We fund startups, not small businesses.
This distinction is deep and that drives our investment thesis. If you are attending Tekedia Capital Demo Day today, by now, we expect you to have known the difference. The World Bank and African governments will empower 3 million women entrepreneurs, for us, none is an entrepreneur but small business owners. The state government is going to empower 10,000 startups, for us, none is a startup but small businesses. Nations rise when entrepreneurs emerge even though small business owners are everywhere!
