Treepz, Africa’s corporate mobility startup announces that its CEO & Co-founder, Onyeka Akumah, has been named a Techstars Global All-Star Mentor for 2023.
Akumah’s achievement is especially remarkable, considering there are fewer than five All-Star Mentors from Africa among the 4,000+ Techstars Mentor Network globally. Over the past three years, he has actively mentored more than 60 startups and founders, showcasing his unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders.
In 2023, PitchBook recognized Techstars as the largest pre-seed investor globally, making it a renowned platform for investment and innovation. It selects only a handful of exceptional mentors annually from its extensive network of entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders. Techstars chooses these individuals for their outstanding expertise, leadership, and dedication to supporting the next generation of startup founders.
Akumah expressed his gratitude and excitement, stating, “I am deeply honored to be named a Techstars Global All-Star Mentor for 2023. I am committed to leveraging this platform to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs and foster innovation that drives positive change across Africa and beyond.”
Akumah’s appointment as a Techstars Global All-Star Mentor underscores his notable achievements and contributions to the startup ecosystem.
