How do you build a multi-billion-franc company starting with just 300,000 Rwandan francs? In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, entrepreneur and Wood Habitat founder Paradis Nishimwe Imfura shares the complete story of building one of Rwanda's leading furniture and interior design companies. We discuss entrepreneurship, manufacturing, leadership, scaling a business, raising standards in African design, competing against imports, creating jobs, and the financial lessons every founder should know. Whether you're an entrepreneur, student, investor, or anyone interested in Rwanda's economic future, this conversation is a practical masterclass on building something valuable from almost nothing.
