Iyinoluwa Aboyeji – brilliant entrepreneur and 2 x founder of unicorns Andela and Flutterwave, says:

If you are a startup founder who wants to build a healthy, growing company in these perilous times my sincere advice is to drop whatever you are doing and attend this fireside chat.

Jonathan Ruwanika CA(SA) who I fondly call my startup IMF has saved several startups from the claws of death by helping them achieve financial fitness through tight controls and a relentless focus on unit economics so they can cut their fat and grow lean and profitable yet scalable, strong and fast growing businesses.

He is putting together this star powered panel of heavyweight CFOs from around the world who have now done this for companies with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
