Building Sustainable Startups in Africa

Gladys D. Istifanus

I am a business and agricultural coach with over 15 years of experience helping entrepreneurs, farmers, and food processors build businesses that last. My passion is guiding people to turn ideas into profitable, sustainable ventures through business coaching, digital solutions, and private labelling.
 
As the founder of Afrieden Foods and Girma Tech Business Solutions, I have spent years working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, agriculture, and food processing. From building startups to creating market-ready food products, I understand the challenges entrepreneurs face—because I have lived through them myself, navigating the realities of emerging economies, unfavorable policies, and lack of infrastructure.
 
My journey has taught me that with the right strategies, tools, and support, anyone can bridge the gap between passion and profit. Today, I use my expertise to empower others to grow smart, process better, and profit more, while contributing to Africa’s broader story of sustainable growth and economic empowerment.
