I had the pleasure of talking with Hafsa Jomari, CEO of CoAmana, an Agtech startup operating in Nigeria and Kenya. We discussed her inspiring journey from academia to entrepreneurship and how her obsession with solving the issue of market access for smallholder farmers led her to create CoAmana. In this episode, Hafsa shares invaluable advice she received during her entrepreneurial journey and how CoAmana has adapted and evolved over time. We also discuss the challenges of building and managing a team, the importance of having a co-founder, and the best and worst advice she has received in her career.
