  • It is no secret that #entrepreneurs face challenges day-in and day-out. There are those who ask what is considered as ‘valid’ questions, and there those that are too shy to ask those ‘invalid’ but relatable questions. These entrepreneurs were bold enough to ask the latter.
    So dear entrepreneur, here is a simple question: Are you brave enough?
    About Vusi
    So let’s begin… Vusi is a disruptor.
    At 25 he ran a R400mn division in a R17bn multi-national and today is widely regarded as one of the most disruptive forces in venture capital in Africa. He was amongst the youngest directors of a listed company in South Africa and now serves on several boards.
    Currently, he is the CEO of a boutique investment & advisory firm in Africa. Leading by example, his firm forces medium, large and listed businesses into much needed, often painful, always lucrative new directions.
    Having graced the covers of Entrepreneur Magazine, with features on Forbes and Inc500, his social media engagement often mirrors that of a Rockstar.

    "in a market dominated by big players, you'll never win a price war"
    This is awesome, I've seen some start up fast food companies even advertise that they are cheaper than hungry lion or nandos. However they have never grown despite being cheaper, the trying to win a price war is too big a battle indeed.
