Tando Matanda on Financial Inclusion and Bridging Gaps in Venture Capital Funding

EP 324 - Tando is cofounder and CEO of Musa - the world’s first
Intelligent Venture Assessment platform who are re-defining the
funding process for startups and SMEs


Musa aims to provide strategic advice, direction and access to
capital to facilitate SMEs development through using digital
tools and insights, while also connecting them to funding
networks.


Tando discusses the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in securing
capital, the disconnect between entrepreneurs and financiers, and
how Musa aims to solve these issues through advanced data
analytics and venture health assessments.


We also touch on the impact of financial inclusion, the struggles
of minority and female entrepreneurs in securing funding, and the
importance of education and strategic planning in building
successful businesses.


And Tando explains why she thinks unrealistic startup targets set
by investors qualify for the big bin of bullsh*t!
