THE BUSINESS HUB: The Art of Networking in The Experience Economy

By David Wamambo

Last week, I was at a pitching competition hosted by DOLOLO supported by the Southern Africa Innovation Support Programme and National Commission on Science Research and Technology. I got there just before the program was about to commence so I was late to see the party begin but not too late to grab some snacks and say hi to a few familiar faces. One thing I already had figured out is that this was an ideal place for one to network with the fellow start up community, exchange contact details and establish relationships that could evolve into collaborations or partnerships. However, I soon realized that with most networking events people always tend to gravitate to who they are already familiar with.

The Business Hub: Women in Business

Growing up I was raised by a resourceful and business minded set of parents. My father despite his day job as an architect still worked the garden after-hours and would sell his produce over the weekends at the local market. That was the money he would spend on household costs and save up his salary, while my mom was a teacher but also made and sold traditional butters and sauces.

That’s BS: How to be an Instagram Boyfriend

I like to say I have trained the people in my life on how I want my pictures taken. I do the same with whoever my boyfriend is at the time. Imagine spending 80% of your time with someone who doesn’t know how to take pictures of you – could never be me.

If you didn’t know, my Instagram feed is very important to me. Lol. It’s my life as a mood board. So if your girlfriend/partner feels the same way about theirs, you need to get your Instagram and picture taking skills up! Pronto!!!

VARSITY 101: Getting through registration

My first year at varsity was the worst! I didn’t attend Orientation week so I didn’t know what getting into university meant. I basically winged my first year. I didn’t know how important tests were or how I had to attend 80% of my classes! I didn’t know what ODS (Office of the Dean of Students) was. It was hard but nonetheless I managed to push through. My main point is, if I could turn back time, I would have prevented a lot of things from happening.
