DIT Founder Fireside Chat

​The Founder Fireside Chat is a large-format, in-person conversation featuring experienced pan-African and international founders and operators. It’s designed to create space for honest, practical conversations about what it really takes to build and scale in our context.

​This edition will focus on Beyond Product-Market Fit, specifically:

• ​What changes for founders when product-market fit is achieved, and why this phase often introduces new uncertainty rather than clarity

• ​How to manage product direction when competing priorities begin to emerge across users, stakeholders, and internal capacity

• ​The operational strain that surfaces as the business becomes more complex and execution requirements increase

• ​How leadership and organisational structure need to evolve to maintain focus and momentum beyond validation

​Featured Speakers

​We’re excited to be joined by:

• ​Donald Valoyi, co-founder and CEO of Zulzi

• ​Dr Aisha Pandor, co-founder of Sweepsouth, co-founder and CEO of Pandora Health
