Why Startup Entrepreneurs?

Lack of relevant business skills

We provide the startups with relevant knowledge and skills to run their businesses.

Startup entrepreneurs fail not because they do not know their businesses but for simple reasons that most entrepreneurs lack relevant skills to effectively manage their businesses.

Lack of proper mentorship support

We have professional mentors that provides startups with required guidance.

Majority of startup entrepreneurs do not have someone to hold their hands and guide them towards the right direction in scaling up their businesses.

Lack of sources of financial capital

We finance startups to implement or scale up their business ideas.

Very few entrepreneurs are privileged to have ready capital at their disposal to help them execute their business ideas and scale up to the next level.
