Minority Startup Powering The World

USA Today writes about Kase Lawal of CAMAC International:

This particular entrepreneur's story has become even more relevant for me today as I think about what model of entrepreneurship I plan to pursue. It is evident that one has to find a way to develop a unique competitive advantage. A melding of the unique knowledge and understanding of the US and Africa Markets. Kase was able to leverage both worlds to build a global business. The US gave him access to low cost financing and technical expertise. Africa gave him access to rich resources. He couldn't do one without the other. I know everyone's story is different and things may have changed but this model is definitely worth considering.

It's also useful to consider whether one needs to leverage one more world - China. Today, as an African entrepreneur, China offers the lowest cost of financing and technical expertise. Africa is also considered important. No one is laughing when you cold call to pitch an African investment idea.

How Lemeridian funding service  grant me a loan!!!

Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to lemeridian funding service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to Le_meridian funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 48hrs just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact Le_meridian funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on {lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com Or lfdsloans@outlook.com} or Text through Whatsapp +1-989 394 3740.
