Last week, five bold Orange Corners Senegal entrepreneurs from cohort 6 stepped into the spotlight at INCO’s Investment Pitch Night for a special “fail forward” edition.
Instead of the traditional two-minute pitch, each entrepreneur shared a story of a major challenge or setback they faced, how they navigated it and what they learned from it. This “failure pitch” format created an honest and inspiring space for reflection, resilience and practical insights, reminding us that failure is often the real engine of entrepreneurial progress.
Our brave storytellers:
- Mame Ndack Diop Sarry – Komaaki (VitaFood)
- Seydina Ababacar S. Thiaw – Aquakoom
- Eric Tamane – Consulteam SN
- Nafissatou Sall – Univers Casa Bio
- Kourfia Diakité – Aliment Bou’Casa
To top it off, we dove even deeper during a thought-provoking panel with Abdoul Aziz Sy, Dieynaba Marième Gaye and Moustapha Barro, who unpacked how failure shapes not just entrepreneurs, but entire ecosystems. Huge thanks to our entrepreneurs & panelists for their insights and for keeping the conversation as candid as it was inspiring.
