Nohemie & Co.
Nohémie & Co. podcast is about me engaging in conversations with founders and investors in the African continent. As a daughter of the Congo who moved back to the motherland, the African continent, I’m fascinated by learning from folks making things happen and hopefully that inspires you to launch your own venture.

Jumbo Jus: beverage businesses in Congo
In this episode of Nohemie & Co., I sit down with the founders of Jambo Jus, one of Kinshasa’s first cold-pressed juice brands that made it onto local retail shelves and became a household name — until scaling challenges nearly shut it down.
Half Congolese, half European, the founding brothers returned to DRC to build a business from scratch — with no formal finance or supply chain background.
They share the hard truths about:
- Managing rapid early success in an unstable supply chain
- The reality of sourcing fruits in Kinshasa’s volatile local markets
- Struggles with stockouts, price negotiation, and managing vendors
- Why they weren’t ready for demand when it exploded
- Lessons for diaspora returning home to build scalable brands
