    The Option Entrepreneurship gave me the confidence to follow my inner passion: business in Africa. The experience gave me the skills to lead the marketing department of a highly growing fintech startup: Afrimarket. 2 years after the Option Entrepreneurship I have just pitched Afrimarket in the World Bank at New York, I would never have imagined that before the Option-E!
