Credit for African creators, with Chinedu Enekwe (Nandi Labs)

By Brendan le Grange

“So eventually we raised capital, left our previous platforms, and built this place where the black community around the world could feel like they belong, where their dreams can be financed, from innovation to stories. If they create content, we'll help finance it, we’ll help them grow. And that's the platform that we built.”



Chinedu Enekwe was a fine example of the American Dream: the son of Nigerian immigrants who became a lawyer and then an investment banker. But then he surprised his parents by following an opportunity that took him back to Lagos where the venture-building bug bit. Chinedu has been growing businesses in Africa and America ever since.



In today’s episode, I speak to him about one of those, Nandi Labs, and about how and why he is helping Africa’s premier creators access fair and efficient financing.



Nandi Labs are at https://nandimarket.com/ and on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/nandilabs/



You can also find them on Twitter at https://twitter.com/nandimarket



Passbook Ventures is at https://withkoji.com/@Passbook and https://www.linkedin.com/company/passbookvc/



Or if you prefer your interactions more human in nature, reach out to Chinedu directly on LinkedIn (and tell him you found him here)
