Hello Everyone, welcome to the first episode of the Kurious K podcast of the year proudly sponsored by First City Monument Bank (FCMB). We flipped the script in this episode, Instead of asking all the questions, Kurious K answered most of the questions. It was a great conversation featuring Morakinyo Fakunle and Abiodun Lawal of FCMB. During the episode, we explored  Kurious K's journey into tech and the reason for starting the podcast.  The podcast delves into the challenges and steps involved in building a successful startup in Africa and Nigeria, including the key ingredients for scaling in an  African economy.  We discussed how early-stage startups should approach funding, the importance of having a support system, and establishing credibility. The podcast concludes with information on how startups can access funding, infrastructure support, markets from FCMB and more.
