Dear Entrepreneurs - E08

It's Episode 8 of Dear Entrepreneurs, and we've got the amazing Ropafadzo Musvaire talking to us about her experience working for two early-stage startups (one bad startup and one good startup) immediately after finishing her first-degree program in Economics and Finance from the University of Cape Town. So if there's anyone who knows the difference between a good startup and a bad startup, it's Ropah.

Ropah spoke about the importance of planning in the growth of a startup, especially while still in the learning phase. She spoke on how it felt to walk into a startup she worked for and discover they have hired 10 new people, and then walk in the next day, only to discover they have fired all 10 people. "I left the startup because I realized they had no direction, and I wasn't growing. They lacked proper structure and planning, which made me skeptical about startups initially," Ropah says. 

Okay, enough of the long talk, enjoy!
