What’s the African country that you would love to visit this year and why?
I’ll pick Rwanda. Because of the scenery, I heard it’s a very nice place. And I’ve heard a lot about a lot of developments there in terms of how they’ve grown since the civil war. And I would really like to go to the country, know more about their history and know about how they evolved from that period to now. Because they’re one of the best African countries now. So I really like to get to know them.

What has been the most humbling moment in your journey as an entrepreneur?
Can I really remember? I think when I get some no’s. I get a lot of no’s in terms of investors and I think it’s very humbling. It makes me want to think why this person said no and what I can do to be better in terms of myself and the company.
What are these people looking at and why did they say no? What can I do to change their minds? I don’t have to go back to them. They would hear about it. What can I do as a founder to evolve better, to evolve as a company, to make my company a unicorn? So those are humbling moments when I get no’s. But I always give it a deep thought into wanting to know why it was said.
