Speaking
I talk fast when I'm excited. Most days, I'm excited.
From COP stages to university halls, I speak about building climate ventures from the African continent, with real samples, real numbers, and a story that starts with a stranded boat.

What I speak about
Four talks I can give without notes.
Use the problem.
How the things we pay to get rid of, invasive weeds, waste, burning forests, become the raw material for the next business.
Building deep-tech from Africa.
What it actually takes to prototype, manufacture and scale a hardware-and-materials venture on the continent.
Impact that pays its way.
Why grant-dependent impact is fragile, and how to design ventures that survive the day the funding stops.
From final-year project to founder.
The honest version of the HyaPak story, the stranded boat, the dead ends, and what I'd tell my younger self.
