Ep. 2: Simunza Muyangana on Running a Sustainable Hub Model

--:--
Can entrepreneurship hubs be sustainable beyond donor funding? Can they create value that their 'customers' willingly pay for? What kind of entrepreneurs are hubs designed to support, game-changing, industry-disrupting entrepreneurs or bread-and-butter business entrepreneurs?
