Show notes

My guest on this episode is an African digital health guru. Her name is Dr. Egbe Osifo-Dawodu. She is a founding partner of the Anadach Group – a consulting firm that provides technical and strategic support to digital health companies and investors across the developing world. She’s one of those people that has been committed to digital health long before it became fashionable. So in this episode we’ll be tapping into her 20+ years of experience as we talk about some common mistakes that digital health startups tend to make such as issues to do with intellectual property, licensing and even about how easily some startups surrender equity to potential funders. You can learn more about the Anadach Group by visiting: https://www.anadach.com/ If you have any thoughts on this episode, or recommendations of African health innovators that you’d like me to host on the show, please reach out to me directly on Twitter @DrSam_Oti, email: sam.oti@alumni.harvard.edu or via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuel-oji-oti.
