"We need more female investors, we need more investments in female founders" -Damilola Kolawole We collaborated with @startupsouthng along with @ehaimpactventures to bring innovators, investors, and founders across Nigeria to the south-south and south-east, and it was extraordinary With this year's theme being #Deep&Broad, we could only imagine how impactful the conversations and reflection across the ecosystem could be. One of the takeaway for us is "Intentionality." The intentionality is to see the loophole and make changes, watch the end to see how succinctly our Investment analyst, Damilola put it. #Angelinvestment #startupsouth9 #ehaimpactventures
