On Episode 6 I talk to Dawit Lemma, an entrepreneur based in Ethiopia.
Dawit has a wide range of experiences that have led him to start Krimson. From working at Red Bull to flying into Afghanistan, he explains how his different positions have influenced the work he does now.
Despite telling the Bandits about the difficulties in starting a business in Ethiopia, he does a good job of talking about the possibilities, especially as they pertain to those living in diaspora. Dawit talks about some of the most challenging moments he's faced as an entrepreneur in Ethiopia and how he has been able to continue producing quality service for his clients.
For those looking to start their entrepreneurial journey in Ethiopia, Dawit gives specific advice on navigating the tedious process of registering a business. He talks about how he was able to land some of his largest multinational clients and I know you'll find a lot of his advice actionable.
If you're struggling with the idea of taking the next step away from the traditional 9-5 job, Dawit can be that source of encouragement you need. Dawit made that leap not too long ago and is enjoying every bit of struggle and success in his entrepreneurial journey.
Dawit is one of those entrepreneurs with a tremendous amount of passion for his country and continent who is obsessed with providing the highest level of value possible to his clients. Through the Knowledge Bandits network, Dawit has offered to connect with some of the listeners to share a bit more and answer some very specific questions.
