Original caption
Today on The Builders Podcast: Adesuwa Okunbo Rhodes of Aruwa Capital — the woman trusted with $80 million to invest in Nigerian businesses. She saw a gap most people ignored. Banks weren’t lending to businesses without collateral, and small businesses were considered too small to bother with. Growth capital gap across Nigeria and Ghana alone: $150 billion. She started with a $20 million fund. It’s now $80 million. This episode is about why underserved SMEs deserve serious capital, and why investing in women isn’t charity, it’s strategy.
