At MBM Africa, we are committed to creating opportunities for LIMITLESS African founders to create sustainable businesses that grow job opportunities for Africans Founders. We will do this by pushing the traditional boundaries of both what it means to be a founder and the typical thinking of a “business.” To accomplish this mission, we’ll continually challenge conventional wisdom and norms in order to deliver innovative strategies and solutions to the problems faced by African communities across the continent.
