In this episode of the Frontier Markets Podcast, we have a conversation with Pierre Tachot, a co-founder of Super Novae, an NGO and accelerator that helps small and medium sized businesses in post-crisis zones. Pierre has worked with entrepreneurs in regions like Libya, Yemen, Palestine, Iraq, and more. This episode covers: What types of businesses are viable in post-conflict zones? What's the tech stack and state of infrastructure in places like Libya and Yemen? Stories of entrepreneurship in highly constrained environments Institutional dynamics across these regions The spiritual imperative of adventure in Frontier Markets This was a really fun episode to record. I learnt a lot from Pierre, and hope to get a chance to work/invest/build within some of these regions in my lifetime.
