Cameroon Must First Create a Framework of Trust to Develop Its Startups: Cameroonian Entrepreneurs
The ecosystem's lag is not explained solely by entrepreneurs' capabilities but also by difficulties in accessing financing and the absence of a sufficiently structured environment, Christian Tchamen told Sputnik Africa.
"In Cameroon, startups are forced to go raise funds abroad."
It is not enough to copy the model of other African countries like Egypt, noted Jean Patrick Ketcha, founder of Boukarou, a structure dedicated to supporting startups.
