Ep7 - Raising capital for your healthtech innovation
MedTec AfricaPlay episode
Show notes
Today we’re talking money! The so-called root of all evil and yet everyone needs it including health tech start-ups. So how do tech startups in Africa get about raising capital? Well, in this episode I’ll be speaking with a man who has all the answers and even has some money to give away. Well, not him personally but his organization ‒the Baobab Network‒ runs an accelerator that invests as much as $25,000 in early-stage tech ventures across Africa. His name is Mr Arthur Chupeau and he is the Head of Ventures at the Baobab Network based here in Nairobi. It was such an insightful conversation so please listen, like and share with anyone who you know might need capital for their health tech start up on this beautiful continent. You can learn more about the Baobab Network by visiting https://thebaobabnetwork.com/ or on Twitter and FB @thebaobabnetwork and LinkedIn @the-baobab-network.
