Tando Matanda on Financial Inclusion and Bridging Gaps in Venture Capital Funding

Business Without Bullsh-t

EP 324 - Tando is cofounder and CEO of Musa - the world’s first Intelligent Venture Assessment platform who are re-defining the funding process for startups and SMEs

Musa aims to provide strategic advice, direction and access to capital to facilitate SMEs development through using digital tools and insights, while also connecting them to funding networks.

Tando discusses the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in securing capital, the disconnect between entrepreneurs and financiers, and how Musa aims to solve these issues through advanced data analytics and venture health assessments.

And Tando explains why she thinks unrealistic startup targets set by investors qualify for the big bin of bullsh*t!
