Episode 156 - Investing in Women and Africa with Adesuwa Rhodes

Despite the size and scale of the continent, there aren’t many female fund managers in Africa.

Today’s guest is trying to fix that.

Adesuwa Rhodes launched her firm, Aruwa Capital, because she saw untapped investment opportunities in West Africa in the small to lower mid-market. Aruwa has a specific goal to close the gender gap in Africa and become a case study that shows the business value of investing in women as fund managers, entrepreneurs, consumers and stakeholders in society.

She joins the show from her home in Lagos, Nigeria.
