Forbes magazine is looking to publish a list of 30 “Africa’s Best Young Entrepreneurs” under the age 30 by February. To help complete the list, the global magazine is asking its readers to nominate entrepreneurs who are making the most dramatic impact in Africa today in technology, manufacturing, media and entertainment, financial services, agriculture and fashion.
According to his post, Mfonobong Nsehe said nominees must be citizens of one of the African countries and their business must also be based in Africa. Also, readers can only nominate entrepreneurs who have built businesses that employ at least four people.
“Nominees must be entrepreneurs who have built businesses that employ at least 4 people. Ideally, the companies they have built should be generating revenues above $1 million, and be profitable. But if they are yet to break even, they must have good prospects for the near future. For instance, if an entrepreneur has raised a significant round of funding from investors, but is yet to turn a profit, he or she is of interest.”
Readers willing to nominate should send an email to mnsehe@forbes.com or tweet at him on @MfonobongNsehe on or before 31st of January.
