This feed popped up from 7 years ago today… At that stage this was a very ambitious @KnifeCap R100m Fund target. Ended up over-subscribed at R250m + another R160m s12J fund. Into a $50m pan Africa Fund. And Exits. What a journey! #SkillfullyLucky ventureburn.com/2016/02/knif… – at Cape Town, South Africa

The chances of scaling a startup into a unicorn are low. Very low. But @willjngreen says a robust ecosystem can make all the difference. And he has research to prove it. incafrica.com/article/will-g… #future #entrepreneurship #LeanStartups #success #startup #scaleup
