The Asia Tech Podcast was fortunate to have the opportunity to talk to an incredible entrepreneur from South Africa, Thandwefika Radebe, a Co-Founder at Qwili. Qwili is a digital marketplace used by merchants to sell value-added services to consumers who are often not able to access these services themselves.

Some of the topics that Thandwe covered:

• Why he studied developmental finance
• His discomfort caused by the obvious economic disparity on the continent
• His family's reaction to him leaving a stable corporate job
• Changing the perception of investing in Africa with data
• The importance of familiarity and certainty when it comes to tech startup investing
