About Lokakawu Herve

🚀 With over 10 years spent in the French and African startup ecosystem, I've had the opportunity to hold high-responsibility positions in fast-growing startups, as well as in VC funds, on issues related to structuring seed fundraising operations🚀

📈 As Managing Partner, I supported 8 Francophone African startups in Sub-Saharan Africa on Seed rounds, and raised nearly €500,000 from business angels and seed funds.

📈 In charge of the Investment Readiness component of the European Meet Africa II program, I provided personalized support to 120 entrepreneurs from Francophone African diasporas on strategic and operational issues.

📈 As a senior VC Analyst, I supported over 20 entrepreneurs in their seed fundraising process.

📈 As Chief of Staff for a startup developing an online appointment booking solution for doctors, I was responsible for developing and implementing the B2B commercial strategy.

đŸ€đŸŸI favor a pragmatic and empirical approach, adapted to the profile of each entrepreneur and their ambitions. I offer support on the following topics:

✅ Go-to-Market: Support on the key stages of startup creation. Market research, definition of the value proposition, value architecture, positioning strategy, go-to-market strategy, etc.
✅ Commercial Strategy: Support on defining the commercial strategy and developing the sales process.
✅ Fundraising Support: Definition of fundraising strategy, pitch deck development, pitch coaching, financial business plan development, data room structuring, identification of relevant investors.
