This week we went international... Speaking with Hafis Raji. He is a partner at Cornerstone Partners, an Angel Investor Network focused on investing in UK businesses with black and diverse founders. We discuss his early years in the tech space and the importance having good people around played in his career progressing and pushing him to the next level.
How important representation is and the difference it makes with black and ethnic professionals wanting to get into the tech space. Seeing themselves at all levels plays a vital role in somewhat believing it is possible to achieve that position. We also touch on being your absolute best at your craft, turning you into an asset for any business.
There're are working to bridge the gap between Nigeria and the Uk by offering world class services in developers to companies across the UK and globally. He explains the difficulties faced with raising funding, having to invest in yourself and discrimination being black founders and partners from Africa.
For anyone wanting to get into the tech space and understand what is required to be successful... this is for you.
