Practical conversations for people building African businesses
Periscope helps founders understand the ideas, decisions and business fundamentals behind building successful companies.
Ambition is not always matched by access
Africa has no shortage of capable and driven entrepreneurs.
However, many founders have limited access to experienced operators, investors and business leaders. They are often expected to understand finance, strategy, operations, leadership, fundraising, governance and growth without having had the opportunity to learn directly from people who have built before them.
Periscope exists to make that knowledge more accessible.
