Eva Anagwonye Founder\| Computer Engineering Student, University of Benin\| Backend Developer at Unimap+	Inside the Gates: Building the Delivery Infrastructure Jumia and Bolt Structurally Cannot Majority of Nigerian universities ban external delivery riders, meaning Bolt Food, Jumia Food, and every mainstream platform cannot enter the gate. Unimap+ solves this by building campus-native food delivery infrastructure: student riders earn ₦600–₦1,200 per delivery on flexible schedules, and hostel-based vendors — bakers, cooks, and campus eateries who have never had online presence pay a one-time onboarding fee to get their first ever digital storefront, instantly reaching thousands of students as customers. No recurring charges, no marketing budget needed. Students order through a web… read more
Chantelle Botha Founder of Dragonfly - Chief VIP Officer at Dragonfly	Manager to Exec in 7 Steps The leap from manager to exec is one that a lot of people want, but not a lot of people make.
