"Tomato, to-mah-to" - on SMEs and startups in Africa
While many have been making sourdough and started other lockdown projects, I've been working on my literature review. In the reading on entrepreneurship in Africa, four dimensions stood out to me.

But there’s one dimension of entrepreneurship that seems applicable regardless of where you find yourself in the world. That’s the Traditional & Contemporary dimension.
