DueDash at AfricArena Berlin Summit 2023
Always be ready to pitch! We often tell founders that if somebody wakes you up at 3 am at night, you should be able to pitch with confidence! This is what happened to our Co-Founder Markus and he pitched at the Summit on short notice. The world is changing at a rapid pace and so is Africa. A thriving startup ecosystem with so much untapped potential and innovation. We are looking forward to helping African founders on their investor journey to support their potential.

Investor question of the week
"Are you planning to build strategic tie ups with other brands?”
Your partnerships and planned ones can give investors a lot of information about your current standing in the market and your ability to further expand and grow. If you are able to build relevant strategic tie ups with other brands and companies, this will help create trust with investors.
Customer-aligned business model
"The main thing about business models is that we find something that just aligns value with the customer.”
A successful model involves identifying and delivering offerings that genuinely meet customer needs, fostering loyalty and long-term success. This necessitates understanding customer preferences, and market dynamics, and creating resonating offerings.??
Meme of the week
Not every investor's advice must be taken. They are not running the business, you do. But ignoring everything they say will likely be a problem. Especially when it comes to fundraising and investments. If a dozen investors tell you that there are issues to overcome, this is what it will take to get their trust. Feel free to ignore the advice, but then be ready to bootstrap all the way
