From Wall Street To Building Africa's Pocket | Valentine Njoroge
About this episode
Valentine Njoroge discusses the challenges faced by the African middle class in building wealth and shares her journey in asset management.
Millions of Africans earn good incomes. Very few build lasting wealth.In this episode of Financially Incorrect, Barrack sits down with Valentine Njoroge, CEO and Co-founder of Africa's Pocket, to unpack what actually stops the African middle class from investing consistently and why financial education alone rarely changes behaviour.Valentine shares how she went from struggling with her own spending habits to managing hundreds of millions of shillings in assets through Africa's Pocket. She explains why traditional asset management often leaves investors paying fees they barely understand, the lessons she learnt after managing a $5 million startup investment fund, and why one bad investment permanently changed how she evaluates founders.The conversation also explores the real economics behind building wealth through warehouses, real estate, startup investing, compound interest and goal-based investing.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Access all our links in one place: https://lnk.bio/Financially_Inc💹 Ready to start trading?🧑🏫 Learn how to trade: https://lnk.bio/fxpesa📲…
