I travelled from Lagos to Colombo for the Innovation for Impact VC Summit, hosted by British International Investment (BII). This summit brought together over 150 investors, founders, and venture capital leaders from Africa and South Asia to exchange insights on scaling businesses in emerging markets. I had the honour of speaking on two engaging panels: “Same Same, But Different: From Ludhiana to Lahore to Lagos”, where we explored shared challenges in access to capital and scalability, and Fund Manager Pecha Kucha, a dynamic session unpacking real experiences in building sustainable investment platforms.
