How to Build a Company in an Emerging Market

In this podcast interview with Investor and Growth Strategist Dotun Olowoporoku (Partner at Starta.com), Mark shares his ‘formula’ for building a company in an emerging market, and thoughts on how the tech ecosystem has changed over the past five years.
