How I Raised It - The Podcast Where We Interview Startup Founders Who Raised Capital.

Produced by Foundersuite (www.foundersuite.com), "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders and investors who have raised capital. This episode is with Michael Heyink of Yellow.Africa, a startup bringing connectivity and power to rural African communities through an innovative distribution and financing model. In this episode, we talk about the opportunities and challenges of building a startup in Africa, his transition from working in private equity to becoming a startup founder, raising capital from impact investors and development finance institutions, and more. Yellow most recently raised a Series B funding round of $14 million, bringing the total capital raised by Yellow, through a combination of debt and equity, to $45 million. The round was from Convergence Partners and the Energy Entrepreneurs Growth Fund, managed by Triple Jump, along with follow-on investment from Platform Investment Partners.
