Listen "Why Startups Need Better Due Diligence I Angela Koki - Diligence Africa I AFTER HOURS🍸"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of "After Hours, in partnership with Tanqueray Africa," we speak with Angela Koki, a venture capital and finance expert, as she shares her unconventional journey from corporate finance to developing the startup ecosystem.
Angela takes us through her background in financial engineering, her years in government, and her extensive experiences in investments, audit, and agriculture.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Angela reveals her brave decision to take a career break for motherhood—shattering the age-old belief that women must "have it all" at once. She talks passionately about the importance of self-compassion and reframing career breaks as not failures but opportunities to grow and find oneself.
In a moment of unbridled honesty, Angela shares her own personal struggles, such as a breakdown during her time at Deloitte. She speaks about the transformative power of stillness and meditation within corporate life, delivering an emotional speech about the need to humanize ourselves first before we can innovate or lead.
Now at the helm of Diligence Africa, Angela is pioneering what she calls "the Big Four for startups," offering much-needed due diligence and risk intelligence services to the African startup ecosystem. With a keen eye for financial soundness, founder integrity, and sustainable business models, her work has already made a difference on two continents—completing over 80 due diligence reports and training more than 100 founders.
This episode is must-listening for anyone who is confronting career transition, entrepreneurship, or the tensions of balancing ambition and personal well-being. Tune in to Angela's inspiring insights and discover how resilience, self-awareness, and strategic thinking can redefine achievement.
