For more entrepreneurs to succeed and for entrepreneurship in Africa to grow, we need symbiotic ecosystems; where access to knowledge and tools required for success are readily available for young entrepreneurs looking to put in the work.

An ecosystem is a community or group of living organisms that live in and interact with each other in a specific environment. An entrepreneurial ecosystem on the other hand is a network of organizations - including suppliers, distributors, customers, competitors, government agencies, and so on - involved in the delivery of a specific through both competition and cooperation.

This October is our #BlackLeadersMonth, and Startup Grind Asaba collaborating with Startup Grind Jos features Multi-Award Winning serial entrepreneur and Startup Ecosystem builder; Chidi Nwaogu. We are going to discuss what an ecosystem is, and the tools and processes needed for building functional ecosystems.

Chidi will be sharing his knowledge from scaling/selling two internet businesses. He will also be sharing what he has learned from running one of the biggest content distribution platform 'Publiseer', as well as The Savvy Fellowship; a virtual fellowship program for passionate and brilliant young professionals seeking to be part of the new generation of impact entrepreneurs.

This event is sponsored by Google for Startups.
