Id4 #111 : Focus on you as leader

By Id4 ventures • Issue #111 • View online

Hi,

We have started the year talking about growth, fundraising and board management, time is to focus on you. you will find this week some mind expanding content.

I personally loved the interview of Matt Mullenweg, co-founder-CEO of Automattic and Simon Sinek on How great leaders inspire action.

Some videos/ podcast are quite long but really worth the time. Please take some time for yourself.

As usual some great news from our portfolio’s companies, special mention to Afrikrea, which become the DHL’s biggest e-commerce exporter out Africa 💪🏻🚀.

Enjoy your week,

The Id4 team.
