In this in-depth conversation, Ben Mukanirwa, co-founder and CTO of Pikelo, a language learning app shares his inspiring journey from growing up in Congo to becoming an entrepreneur focused on helping Francophones around the world learn English.
He shares the challenges and fears he faced while building Pikelo, the importance of user feedback in developing their MVP, and the technical hurdles they have overcame. Ben emphasizes the significance of funding, resource management, and personal growth throughout the entrepreneurial journey.
He also shares impactful stories of users whose lives have changed thanks to Pikelo and outlines his vision for the future of the platform and the broader impact he hopes to achieve for young African entrepreneurs.
I hope this episode speaks to someone and sparks an entrepreneurial fire in them; Ben wasn't a typical whiz kid but here we are and he has fully grown into entrepreneurship and software engineering. You too can do it.
With love from the team at YEP.
