In this episode, we sit down with Kwaku Owusu Twum, founder of Mapkot Technologies, a digital platform transforming how farmers connect with buyers launched in Ghana and not going global.

Founder Kwaku shares how failure shaped his vision, how listening - really listening to farmers sparked his breakthrough by visiting their homes and villages, and how he turned that into a numerous pitch competition wins in many incubators across Canada!
