Anambra Startup Network

Happy Birthday to Mr. Okechukwu Somtochukwu Stanley, President of Anambra Startup Network.

A builder.
A developer.
A leader.
A mentor.

Thank you for driving innovation and empowering the startup ecosystem in Anambra.

On September’s edition of ‘The Founders’ Circle’, where John Onuigbo, the founder of Foris Labs, took us on an extensive session of getting grants, perfecting your pitch and attracting investors.

It was an interesting one as founders got answers to several questions, and the opportunity to also network.
