In this episode, I sit with Zack Temtem, COO at Open Startup, an organization on a mission to empower and shape entrepreneurial journeys in Africa by developing skills, leveraging networks, and bridging ecosystems.

From their base in Tunisia, Open Startup is creating a ripple effect across the continent — uplifting ventures of all sizes, catalyzing tech-enabled ecosystems, and nurturing high-potential startups and human capital. Their work transcends borders, but it’s deeply rooted in strengthening Tunisia’s startup scene as a launchpad for wider African impact.

Zack shares powerful insights on what it takes to connect fragmented ecosystems, unlock opportunities for founders, and position Tunisia as both a regional and continental innovation hub.
