Pierre Tachot - Incubating Businesses in Libya, Yemen, and Other Post Conflict Zones (Frontier Markets Podcast #11)

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.
