Back2Basics! With just one week remaining, we're gearing up for the third edition of the Back2Basic Series. This unique event offers a rare opportunity to delve into entrepreneurial concepts in an intimate setting, fostering a relatable learning experience for aspiring entrepreneurs, SMEs, and ambitious career professionals. This session's topic is "Developing your go-to-market Strategy," and our speaker is Nana Boafo Gyamerah-Ako. Join us via the following link: https://lnkd.in/e6vC4_wi Entrepreneurship often calls for first-principles thinking, a method of problem-solving that involves breaking down complex issues into their most fundamental parts and then questioning and challenging your assumptions before creating a new solution from the ground up. However, first-principles thinking is a complex and effort-intensive process, and more often than not, entrepreneurs do not reason from first principles up but rather from an anchor bias up. This temptation is even more prevalent in places like Ghana and Africa, where most of the information on entrepreneurship we consume comes from foreign sources. Back2Basics addresses this challenge by providing access to Ghanaian entrepreneurship and business community practitioners who share their lived experiences and first-hand insights. So looking forward to another session that challenges our assumptions and perceptions and lets us lay a foundation for creative problem-solving within the Ghanaian environment. Few can make a difference! Shoutout to the organisers JA Ghana, Stanbic Incubator Ghana & Boxplay Ventures

In July and August, I had the opportunity of hosting and moderating the “In the Box Knowledge Series”, hosted by Boxplay Ventures. This series addresses the everyday challenges of #entrepreneurs, #ecosystem enablers, #investors, and other key stakeholders. Boxplay Ventures, an Accra-based SME and #startup consultancy, is passionate about supporting entrepreneurs and nurturing the tech and innovation ecosystem in #Ghana and across #Africa. Moderating these two events on the topics “How to Build a Viable Web 3.0 Startup” and “How to Build New Age Media Companies in a Digital World” was an insightful experience. I had the opportunity to engage with seasoned speakers such as Abena A. Baah Kusi Yaw Antwi Owusu and Precious Obgezuode As a moderator, my goal is to always facilitate impactful conversations and extract the best insights from my panel to fulfill the event’s purpose. I aim to ensure that every participant feels their time was well spent. There is nothing more rewarding than receiving positive feedback from clients and being invited back for future events. If you are a stakeholder in Africa’s tech and innovation ecosystem or an entrepreneur looking to be equipped and empowered, be sure to catch the next episode of the “In the Box Knowledge” series by Boxplay Ventures. It’s an hour of engaging, insightful conversations, and I believe it will be worth every second of your time. Thank you to Jacklin Addobea Addo and Daniel Kwaku Merki for the opportunity to collaborate with them. 👇🏾 Hey, Yayra here! Host of The Yayra Show and corporate event host & moderator.

Here's "6 Questions", where we put the spotlight on our community. Daniel Kwaku Merki is the Managing Partner of Boxplay Ventures. His career journey from investment banking, restaurant operator and startup consultant to an angel investor has inspired him to find a sustainable and more inclusive way to finance transformative African entrepreneurs. He thus co-creates transformational startups tackling the continent's most common and challenging problems through his venture-building company. ➡️ Q: If you were to build a new company, which historical or contemporary figure would you appoint to the board and why? ➡️A: I would pick Alfred Escher, a Swiss politician, business leader, and railway pioneer. He navigated the political and business spheres and drove a country forward in an unparalleled manner in many aspects (including politics, the creation of large corporations, and infrastructure). I also have two contemporary choices from Ghana but prefer not to name them at this stage. Read the full feature here ---> https://lnkd.in/dEzfdtB3

Join our ‘In The Box’ Youth Entrepreneurs Community! What drives us at Boxplay? 1. African challenges require African solutions. 2. These innovative solutions need to be built by young African entrepreneurs. 3. We support and co-create ventures with daring entrepreneurs with limited access to traditional venture financing. 4. The existing financing models for early-stage investing on the continent leave out many talented entrepreneurs from non-conventional backgrounds. 5. By expanding the entrepreneurial talent pool and access to financing, we broaden the nature of the challenges tackled and solutions created in Africa. Entrepreneurial capacity building is a critical element in building the Africa we want. Therefore, we are excited to announce our ‘In The Box’ Youth Entrepreneurs Community! Join this community of young entrepreneurs now to network with fellow aspiring entrepreneurs and changemakers  and to stay connected with ecosystem events, ‘In The Box’ updates and everything that helps you to become a transformational entrepreneur.
