Mentoring at Google Launchpad Africa — Class 3
Google Africa Launchpad Accelerator is in its third year of helping tech startups scale. This was my first time attending and mentoring at Launchpad, and it was a fulfilling adventure.
The event lasted from April 1st to 5th, with usually two mentoring sessions per day. There were 12 startups in attendance, and I got to mentor about five of them individually.
My focus was on technology, and I am glad I was able to share my knowledge. The way the eyes of the mentees lit up when I told them something that was new to them constantly reminded me of why I do what I do. We often take for granted what we already know, and some little detail might be all someone needs to get his or her startup off the ground.
I am grateful to Google Developers for giving me the opportunity to participate in this round, and I look forward to additional mentoring opportunities.
