Show Notes

Entrepreneurs Talk Africa had the pleasure of hosting our first guest in the official launch of Season One after our initial MVP (Minimal Viable Product) season 0.

We were honored to have Paul Kukubo, founder and former Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya ICT Board (now ICT Authority), where he is credited for developing key international and local partnerships that fostered Kenya’s rise as a technology innovation hub. He was also instrumental in the establishment of the Konza Techno City, billed as Kenya’s Silicon Savannah, as well as being  named one of the Top 100 Most Influential Kenyans to Watch. Now living in South Africa after founding several other ventures on the way Paul is the very definition of an African serial entrepreneur.

Our discussion followed his personal journey from his early days in the corporate world to the numerous ventures he has been involved in over the years. The lessons and advice from Paul come as an example and inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs and I encourage you to have a listen to our full conversation.
