In this powerful episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Dawn Dickson — a serial entrepreneur, tech innovator, and real estate developer whose journey proves that losing everything doesn’t mean the story is over.
From building multiple multimillion-dollar ventures to facing devastating setbacks when venture capital control went wrong, Dawn opens up like never before about the collapse that nearly cost her everything… and the mindset it took to rebuild from scratch.
She walks us through her full entrepreneurial timeline:
• Launching early internet ventures in the early 2000s
• Building and scaling multiple companies including retail tech and e-commerce brands
• Raising millions in venture capital and equity crowdfunding
• The painful reality of losing control during a failed VC takeover
• Starting over with no guarantees
• Moving to Africa and betting on a new future
• Rebuilding wealth through strategic real estate development in Ghana
• Making millions again — this time on her own terms
A six-time founder who has built companies across tech, retail, and consulting, Dawn made history as one of the first women to raise over $1M through equity crowdfunding and has since facilitated millions in property development and investment projects across Ghana and Rwanda. 
Now living between the U.S. and Africa, she shares how failure, ownership, and resilience shaped her second rise — and why building again after losing everything requires a different level of courage.
This episode is not just about business.
It’s about power, control, rebuilding, and what it truly takes to make millions more than once — especially as a woman in male-dominated industries.
If you’ve ever lost momentum, capital, or confidence… this conversation will change how you think about comebacks.
