SV034: Investing In Africa with Managing Partner of Chrysalis Capital Nichole Yembra

In addition to this work, Nichole is deeply committed to making gender diversity a priority within the financial-technology 'fintech' space in Nigeria and enhancing opportunities for women in leadership. She founded the Garden Women's Network, a group dedicated to the development and retention of high-performing women in the Nigerian tech ecosystem.

Does a typical Silicon Valley Venture Capital fund structure work in Africa?

What are some difficulties facing African entrepreneurs?
