If you are reading this and you consider yourself as a young person who still has a long way to learn, grow, connect and interact with people who know what they are doing in their industries, take your time and study these 5 companies and NGO’s and they will serve a purpose.

1. Sahara Ventures

Sahara Ventures is a group of companies that consults for impact, accelerates businesses, and sparks your mind through conversation (fireside chats) in events like Sahara Sparks does the “Investor-Startup” matchmaking through Market places.

Sahara Ventures has a mission of building a stable innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship ecosystem in Africa and this was rooted in its core belief that…

…the best way to solve a problem and create impact is by building a business around it!

Now, I am talking to young ambitious individuals who are inspired to build great products and services around the innovation ecosystem in the future.

If you ever know that building a great product or service required hard work, that means you need someone behind to keep you accountable. Not only that but being surrounded by great minds will always leave you inspired and motivated to build something big reacting to roadblocks along the way.

Where can you get like-minded people or great mentors who can keep you accountable? Well! It’s by exposing yourself to great environments.

Show up to events, join different talks and sometimes go to a co-working space for your work and connect with others and Sahara ventures got you covered.
