Join MEST and Benjamin Singh, Partner at Push Venture Capital, for a webinar focused on how to cut costs effectively and strategically during unforeseen circumstances.

The hour will cover several topics to help you better understand what current COVID-19 circumstances mean for local markets and credit cycles (with a focus on Kenya), plus:

• How the COVID-19's impact on the local market and credit cycles in turn affects funding for startups
• What your startup's response should be (cash flow management and cost cutting with a product/company focus)
• What to think about when fund raising (long term considerations - e.g. who you let in as investors, what they bring to the table, dilution etc)

Date: Wednesday, 13 May, 2020

Time: 3:00PM Accra| | 4:00PM Lagos| 6:00PM Nairobi
