Startup Content Writer at Hux Ventures

Africa is the future, but ironically there�s a lot of underdevelopment and problems to be solved at the moment, which in itself is a pain point. These problems need to be solved not by the government of the day but by daring entrepreneurs who have already shown laudable efforts to address these socioeconomic problems. At Hux Ventures, we work to identify untapped, possibly game-changing ideas and bring them to fruition. We back daring African founders tackling some of Africa�s most pressing challenges. We offer tailored support at every stage of the founders' journey, from founding to IPO, and implement new solutions for African growth.
