We had the pleasure to meet up with Dawn Hines, Co-Founder of Aventura Investment Partners, last week at Africa Social Enterprise Forum in New York City. Dawn shared insights regarding the challenge that African entrepreneurs face when starting new ventures. Specifically, Dawn notes that early-stage investment capital is quite difficult to secure. Aventura Investment Partners addresses this need – they work to provide opportunties for African agribusiness entrepreneurs to secure financing in the early stage of launching new enterprises in West Africa and Senegal. The most tangible metric of Aventura’s success? — Jobs. Thanks for sharing your many invaluable insights, Dawn!
