How We Raised Millions from Mark Zuckerberg

Last month it was announced that Andela, a two-year-old startup which trains software developers in Africa and gives them full-time roles at international companies, received $24 million in a Series B round led by Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan’s fund.

Soon after the announcement Andela co-founder Iyinoluwa Aboyeji said he felt compelled to share the truth behind Andela, its team and the journey which has led to one of Africa’s biggest tech start-up success stories to date.

Aboyeji explains; ’During such a pivotal moment, it is important for me to share Andela’s history and inspire many other entrepreneurs through my story of failure, success and collaboration.’
