Very happy with an idea relating to merchandising or distribution.
I am also willing to offer venture capital for someone with a killer idea looking for partner/capital
Hi Obi 1,
Would it be of interest in you partnering up (essentially as an early stage/ growth capital participant) as we bring a maturing international brand (original market is the US. Europe & Middle East distribution already taken up; we are offering their route- to- market in Africa via a distributorship license) starting with the East African market?
Our research shows the brand lacks a comprehensive Sub- Saharan presence as well, indicating a greater growth opportunity.
Being first & fast to market with their line of innovative products, and as a great value add to our indigenous Kenyan brand (2015 has seen us gain good traction) offers a strong edge in revolutionizing our product offering to our target market (essentially urban consumers).
The sector in focus is Food Manufacturing/ Services extending to the Hospitality industry as well. In line with Sparkly's comments, your own knowledge base in your area of expertise, in combination with ours of this industry, would be essential to the opportunity's growth.
As we are beyond the idea stage & coming to the close of our second year in operation,we have adopted a revamped 3- year strategy in which we look to roll-out the highlighted brand as part of our portfolio.
If this may interest you, kindly let me know how I may contact you directly with a detailed overview of the opportunity.
Thank you.
