On October 2nd, 2019 SV-NED hosted their signature Entrepreneur Series featuring Michael Simeon and the launch of VoguePay. The event itself was attended by a large audience including Denise Williams, SV-NED Co-Founder and panelists: Agatha Bacelar U.S. Congressional Candidate, California District 12, Irina Berkon Managing Director, Golden Seeds, Lara Jordan Founder & CEO, Pericus Ventures, Anna Zuo Senior Vice President & Regional Manager, East West Bank, Mohammed Ibrahim Jega Head of Business Development, VoguePay, Geoffrey Weli Wosu Legal Compliance and Marketing, VoguePay, and Daniel Steeves Senior Advisor, VoguePay. The culturally diverse audience consisted of individuals working in fields ranging from investment banking to electronic trading.
Instantaneously, the panel acknowledged the global economy. Through a lack of accessibility, the present state of the world economy is skewed. Business owners and entrepreneurs in emerging countries require the necessary resources and means to obtain proper capital to support the growth of thier businesses to scale. On the contrary, individuals located in more affluent countries such as the United States are unable to finance everyone. Irina Berkon captured the issue at hand when claiming “Right now you cannot send a twenty-cent transaction to Nigeria or another country [without having] to pay PayPal twenty dollars to send [the] twenty cents.” With no cost-effective way of reaching the global market, how will international entrepreneurs obtain the capital they require?
