We had a conversation with Natasha Ibori, the Co-founder of Uwana Energy, a clean energy management platform and marketplace, to help people seamlessly transition to clean, affordable energy.
Uwana Energy is an impact-driven entrepreneur committed to giving more people the freedom to do whatever they want.
Having worked in climate and finance across 4 continents, she is experienced in building holistic solutions. Natasha has assisted Growald Climate Fund in allocating $1bn in aligned funding for energy transition projects globally and has executed award-winning development initiatives with Access Bank Plc and PwC Nigeria.
We cover the following topics on this episode:

An insight into Uwana Energy's pivot away from the provision of hardware products to the creation of an online solar marketplace.
The need to understand the nuances in doing business across multiple parts of Nigeria e.g. the need for a physical office space.
The realities of being an entrepreneur including the need to constantly learn new skills network and raise funding.
