Chris Foltz Founder Institute Ghana has announced the graduation of the startups for the Class of Fall '21.
As well as hearing the experience from each graduate and being treated to the pitches of a selection of the cohort, our audience was also treated to the wise words of the illustrious Ghanaian business icon, Kofi Dadzie, who spoke to the importance of using their talent, training, cunning, foresight, leadership and experience to ensure they position themselves to be in the right place, at the right time – to be where the ball will fall.
And it's certainly clear that by graduating from the initial FI program, the latest class of graduates are well on their way to following Kofi's advice.
