What kind of business would you back with BWP 150 if you could do it today?

A food spot? A tech idea? Someone in your neighbourhood you have watched hustle for years?

Tell us in the comments. We are genuinely curious what Batswana would choose to back if the option was there.

The founders who succeed at raising capital in Botswana aren't always the ones with the cleverest ideas 💡

They're the ones comfortable doing uncomfortable things.

We've noticed this on AfricanCrowd. Before any campaign goes public, we ask founders to raise 20% of their target from their own network. Family. Colleagues. People who've actually watched them work. Some lean in hard. They make the awkward calls. They ask for favours. They put their reputation on the line before they have proof it'll work.

Others quietly disappear.

Both reactions tell you something real about who will actually build through the difficult years ahead. When revenue stalls. When the original plan doesn't work. When the path forward isn't obvious.

The founders who've already shown they'll do uncomfortable work tend to be the ones still building in three years.

If you're thinking about investing in early-stage Botswana businesses, pay attention to this. You're not just backing an idea. You're backing someone who'll make tough decisions when things get messy.
