What if the biggest reason African startups fail isn't lack of funding, bad timing, or even competition, but something far more fundamental that nobody wants to admit? In this powerful and deeply insightful episode of Konnected Minds Podcast, we sit down with Glory Olami Ngoke, a product management expert and tech ecosystem builder who went from wanting to be a medical doctor to becoming one of Africa's leading voices on startups, product development, funding, and why most founders fail before they even launch, for a raw conversation about startup failure, traction, product research, marketing, investor psychology, skill building, and the brutal reality that the default outcome of every startup is failure unless you understand the fundamentals. 🎟️ KONNECTED MINDS LIVE — 9th September, KNUST Great Hall, Kumasi.
