Always learning something new (well, at least for me)

I ave been trying to put together an eco-system here in East Africa comprised of
  • Investors
  • local Internet Service Providers (ISP)
  • Local Mobile Operators


  • The investors want to invest in the ISPs' business to grow and then sell the company for several multiples.
  • I sell the technology, and I make the case for the local big Mobile operators to buy in.
  • The big mobile operators would expand their networks in areas that their cost base did not allow them to expand into


After three months I report back to the investors saying:

the local small ISPs are small and don't want to grow
Some are happy to be small, get some capital to grow a bit
Like these small enterprises that the owners only want to get enough to live a middle class life.

The investor told me:

It has to do with the level of ambition

The term suck with me. I have had a higher level of ambition and I didn't know.
