We also offer business training services to women. https://www.lionessesofafrica.com/blog/2023/4/14/ifeoma-uddoh-a-nigerian-fintech-entrepreneur-positively-changing-lives Another experience that ignited my passion was from the time I spent working with a seed funding company from 2015 to 2018. I had the opportunity to sit on panels, review pitch decks, and visit different seed investing companies. I noticed that women were notably absent, and it bothered me a lot because the higher I went on the corporate ladder, the fewer women I saw. https://www.lionessesofafrica.com/blog/2023/4/14/ifeoma-uddoh-a-nigerian-fintech-entrepreneur-positively-changing-lives Women make up 50% of the population and play a key role in nation-building and many of them manage small businesses to make a living as a result of unemployment but they are not getting the funding or the financial advice they need to be successful. So, I decided to start a company that focused on women and addressed these issues, and I started on this journey with the savings I had. https://www.lionessesofafrica.com/blog/2023/4/14/ifeoma-uddoh-a-nigerian-fintech-entrepreneur-positively-changing-lives Our vision is to establish ourselves as a leading Pan-African brand that supports women’s financial independence. We would be bridging gender financing gaps not only in Nigeria but in other African countries and expand to the US and other markets as well. We plan to improve our processes, grow our community to 100,000 women, and expand our service offerings to include a financial literacy learning platform for women. https://www.lionessesofafrica.com/blog/2023/4/14/ifeoma-uddoh-a-nigerian-fintech-entrepreneur-positively-changing-lives Through my work, I have found satisfaction in being able to meet people from different backgrounds. Also, being able to create moments of uplifting for women and drive positive change has been fulfilling. https://www.lionessesofafrica.com/blog/2023/4/14/ifeoma-uddoh-a-nigerian-fintech-entrepreneur-positively-changing-lives My biggest advice for women who want to start a business is to know your “why”. I feel that your why is an important compass for achieving your vision. It is also very important to believe in yourself and also surround yourself with people who share your passion and can understand the vision. When starting a business, connecting with other women in entrepreneurship and building a strong network would be beneficial for guidance and support. https://www.lionessesofafrica.com/blog/2023/4/14/ifeoma-uddoh-a-nigerian-fintech-entrepreneur-positively-changing-lives External links Category:living people Category:Businesswomen from Nigeria
