Do you know the reason why many startup businesses fold up within a short period? Most of them are not prepared to face the challenges associated with running a business especially one in tech and are not taking full advantage of some viable opportunities in technology to scale up.
Tedbree welcomed Yomi Obisesan, founder of The Black Empowerment Initiative, as a guest on its inaugural Instagram Live this year.
He highlighted what it takes to Build a Tech Startup: The Challenges and Opportunities.

During his conversation with the host, Tommie Edwards - CEO Tedbree, Yomi noted that one of the Initiative's primary goals is to train a minimum of 5000 black professionals in Data Science annually.
Tommie then inquired about the motivation for this goal in light of the enormous number involved.
As an accomplished data professional and holder of a First-class degree, Yomi understands the value of education and its numerous benefits. Given the high cost of education and fueled by his passion for sharing knowledge, the Data Scientist founded the Black Empowerment Initiative with the goal of giving back to the community by training 5000 black professionals in Data Science via its Academy.
