Discussion on 1st November 2024 focused on building tech startups with 51,000 skilled volunteers from SkilledUp Life. We were joined by:
The event was hosted by me (Manoj) with:
- Abidemi – Head of African Operations and Global Sales
- Chidinma – Head of Support
- Brenda and Grace from the Events Sub Team.
Benson and Dominic are in the early stages of developing their tech startups. Whilst this would be the first time for Benson, Dominic has experience given his involvement with several accelerators. Zekhele continues to leverage SkilledUp Life and is in the process of assembling the product team.
David has immense experience and we were very lucky to have him join the show. David runs Zee Africa, a FinTech, which aggregates data using Open Banking APIs. I had a play with the UK’s Open Banking APIs before they were released when Barclays ran a hackathon. Those days, I was building UnifiedVU.
David is an exceptional tech founder who also runs large tech ecosystem-centric events. He is currently organising a Conference in Ibadan, Nigeria. We recently agreed on a media partnership with them. Under the partnership, the SkilledUp Life community can get a 50% discount.
