Episode Synopsis

Investing in startups is a multi-billion-dollar industry globally, but few know the processes and people behind the scenes.

In today’s episode, we speak with Mark Kleyner- the co-founder & program director at DreamVC. Their mission is to equip the next generation of African startup investors, more formally known as Venture Capitalists, with the knowledge and tools needed to thrive.

We discuss how Mark’s background as a Russian/Ukrainian immigrant and first-generation entrepreneur set him up to succeed in the corporate and startup worlds and his radical decision to focus on building in Africa.

Join us as we explore the psychology and skills involved in picking great companies from the crowd and how Mark's work at DreamVC is setting the stage for young African professionals- like ourselves- to break into the VC world as investors and operators.
