DILLALI ON NIGERIAN ECOSYSTEM

Nigerian FinTech goes European Accelerator and shares his experience. 

 

In this episode, we have the pleasure of talking to Ibrahim Bashir, CEO of Nigerian FinTech Dillali. We ask him about his experiences as a founder, in particular why he joined a European accelerator. He shares a lot about the Nigerian startup ecosystem and answers the question of whether an early-stage startup needs external support. Are you curious what he would do if he were starting from scratch again? Then join us, Razvan Suta from Startup Wise Guys and Petra Wolkenstein from Key2Investors in this insightful conversation.
