Perkology
Building a company for scale
Being able to work with the CEO
directly at a decision-making level presents the opportunity to learn how to
make a business work in general and in the African context, and understand all
the elements of running a company – from fundraising, to governance, to cash
flow analysis, etc.
Perks of a startup
Coming in when a startup is still a
team of 20 means that the set of challenges we face today looks very different
from what it will look like in 2 years – even in 6 months!

partners, advisors, and mentors world-wide, that you will have access to. This
is on your job function specific level, as well as general leadership, how to
run a tech company, and other areas of expertise like sales, finance,
