Welcome aboard.

 

Your interest in these 20 startups is perfectly timed. These are million-dollar business opportunities on the African continent that no company has fully addressed. You’re reading this at the right time because for each of these opportunities, the field isn’t crowded yet or the competition is simply non-existent—you’ll be the first to market.

 

This comprehensive guide highlights the problems to be addressed and possible solutions for them. Outlining every little detail for all the 20 startups would take up too much reading time, which would be very discouraging to many readers. Effort has been put to present the material as concisely as possible. Therefore, you’re about to read an easy-to-understand guide that you can finish in one session or two. For brevity purposes, the material on the introduction page is not repeated here. Refer to the intro page before reading each of the startups in this guide.

 

Building startups is hard. Actually, just about everything is hard. Even being a kindergarten teacher is hard! Every job or business demands putting in the hours. What sets them apart though, enormously, is the outcome. Since everything is hard, why not just work on something with the biggest outcome? The unique thing about startups is that you put in the hours but in the event that your startup succeeds, the level of success you enjoy cannot be compared to anything else. If you’re really interested in the biggest outcomes and want to work on the hardest problems, then you should not focus on these 20 startups. Instead, consider these billion-dollar startup opportunities. Winning there will catapult you into the billionaires boys club (the bbc). If you want to join the club and hang out with the big boys, then you should read the other guide which is way more detailed and covers those billion-dollar startup opportunities with in-depth information that you can use to navigate the African startup landscape.
