An entrepreneur can have a brilliant idea that solves a real problem, but are they prepared to launch, brand and build a business?
Enter incubators and accelerators – an ideal opportunity for newly minted founders to get the business acumen they need to succeed.
Our guest, Ivy Syovata, is an ecosystem builder and a serial entrepreneur. She is passionate about entrepreneurship, especially the development of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Ecosystem in Africa.
Ivy is the CEO of the Incubator Nest Hub, based out of Nairobi, Kenya. The Incubator Nest Hub supports companies by helping them survive and scale during the startup period.
While enhancing the local ecosystem, Ivy also serves as a board member at Drop Access Energy and The Association of Startup and SMEs Enablers of Kenya (ASSEK). She chairs the All-Nairobi Chapter for Business Network for Women Entrepreneurs, and she generously provides support for startups everywhere she glows.
