ScaleUp Africa Ecosystem Conversations - Tomi Davies Africa Business Angel Network
Tomi Davies talks about the problem of Silo working and the lack of commercial viability of the startups taking part in the myriad, below par SME and Entrepreneurship programs. Angel investing will only thrive by engaging those with a vested interest in the host city, those with a passion for where they live and choose to invest.
