Program overview
Choose business models that work where distribution is fragmented, incomes are irregular and trust is local.
For founders tired of advice written for other continents. Startup Models for Africa and Emerging Markets provides business model frameworks built for low-infrastructure, high-growth environments rather than imported from mature markets. It examines which models actually work where distribution is fragmented, incomes are irregular, formal credit is scarce and trust is local and how successful companies have adapted pricing, delivery and monetisation accordingly.
