Tanzania's Top 10 Stories [Dec 31 - Jan 6]

Hope you're having a great year so far.

And I'm glad you're here for the first weekly roundup of 2024!

This edition, like the previous 35, is for anyone who wants to keep up with what's "happening" in Tanzania.

It's especially useful for those of you interested in startups, technology, and investment.

Let's get into it. Yeah ?

I'm only sharing the first section, out of five, via LinkedIn.

You can read the full roundup on my Substack. And perhaps consider joining my private email community there.

I. SUNDAY MOTIVATION

In this section, I share a thought or idea that has had the most impact – at least to me – over the last week.

So, today, Firas Ahmad explains what it means to do business in Africa. I thought you’d be interested in his observation as well. At least if you're building a fast-growing company (startup ) or investing in one.

He continued, you do not have a real business unless customers are willing to pay. That's the only proof of value capture, according to Firas. It’s sufficient motivation for most founders and investors to build something people want .

However, scientists need more help turning research into startups.

Here is how Athenarium explained value creation and capture. You can also (re)read Peter Thiel's book "Zero to One " to improve your entrepreneurship skills.

Now, let's get to the meat of our roundup!
