Inside tappi's mission to bring African SMEs online with Kenfield Griffith
What do getting a PhD and building a startup have in common?
For both, you're usually trying to create things that don't exist. But you also have to convince people to believe in your idea.
After completing a PhD in Design and Computation from MIT, Kenfield Griffith started mSurvey which later rebranded to Ajua. In 2023, he co-founded tappi, a startup working to bring African SMEs online for as low as $2 a month.
On the podcast, we discuss his transition from academics to startups, choosing to build a startup targeting SMEs, and how to think about creating exit opportunities for investors.
