Episode 2.09 | Hello Digital Platforms! with Mareike Mgwelo

Our guest Mareike Mgwelo, owner Kamvalethu Consulting, speaks in
Episode 9 of the Eventually Walk the Talk Podcast with Franziska
about her experience as a consultant in entrepreneurship
development and innovation management. Mareike worked with female
social entrepreneurs in South Africa, and supported UNESCO in
Maseru, Lesotho, with entrepreneurship programs. She shares in this
episode examples of how digital technologies enhance productivity.
However, she emphasizes that the biggest challenge with digital
technologies is that the variety of tools is increasing, and thus
it is essential to share knowledge with each other, make a decision
on what to use and test what works best. Moreover, Mareike
highlights the power of digital platforms for entrepreneurs (e.g.
Gründerplatform, Kickstarter, etc), that offer crowdfunding,
connections to angel investors, co-founders or support with
knowledge and idea development through a structured process towards
a business model. To all founders: Mareike emphasizes that it is
important to show yourself in the digital world out there, get the
message out, show what you have done and what you intend to do in
the future. In fact, an active and consistent LinkedIn profile led
Mareike to new clients and also opened up new possibilities for
her. Thank you so much, Mareike for your valuable insights and the
great discussion! Learn more about Mareike:
