What an powerful and insightful Techpreneurship journey @Mariatheresa_tz, thanks for sharing the key lessons learned while starting and managing @mobileafya. Such an inspiration to othet #Tech #Founders

We learned how it started from curiosity "How will Africa look if everyone can easily access health information?" --> to taking action. Lesson "Don't walk around a problem" waiting for others to solve, you may have a key contribution to make for a solution.

We learned about learning to get out of the comfort zone, make necessary wise choices and utilise available resources around to move from a problem to a solution.

Reasearch is Key and crucial, when building a product. Do not take shortcut. Invest in time and effort to understand your users' and customers' needs. You took a user centric design approach, and it paid off. Research - Gradually Build - Test Learn and Reevaluate.
#customerFocus

Surround you with the right people. Seek mentorship in areas where you have needs. Hire people smarter than you, earn trust, delegate and embrace diversity. Leverage of networking and seek opportunities where you can make meaningful connections.
