The Asia Tech Podcast was fortunate to have the opportunity to talk to an incredible entrepreneur from South Africa, Thandwefika Radebe, a Co-Founder at Qwili. Qwili is a digital marketplace used by merchants to sell value-added services to consumers who are often not able to access these services themselves. Some of the topics that Thandwe covered: Why he studied developmental finance His discomfort caused by the obvious economic disparity on the continent His family's reaction to him leaving a stable corporate job Changing the perception of investing in Africa with data The importance of familiarity and certainty when it comes to tech startup investing Some other titles we considered for this episode: I Felt a Bit Distant from My Mission The Only Difference Is a State of Mind You Just Need to Convert One Person Infighting Is the Fastest Way to Look Disorganized Bringing Prosperity to My People
