Paul Szyarto –
“I really wanted to understand the real impact they were trying to achieve; how concrete was the idea; how much true effort they put into this. Were they just coming out to receive money at an amazing award or was this truly a viable business that can have a true impact on Africa? I figure that out by looking at the financials and business objectives. Most of all I looked at the entrepreneur to see inside of them to see were they truly passionate about what they were trying to achieve.”
