We don’t offer a standard menu of services, but rather a flexible and collaborative way of working. Sometimes it’s through advising African entrepreneurs on how to structure a business case. Sometimes it’s through guiding European companies through the messy, real-world work of market entry – not with a slide deck, but by literally taking products into the field, testing, and adjusting together.
