My Guest today is Vincent Edigin. Vincent is the founder of Greenbii. An enterprise resource planning application.

Before starting Greenbii, Vincent was a founding member of various startups including Traindemy – an educational platform.

During our conversation, we spoke about how his diverse experiences have enabled him to become a better entrepreneur. We also spoke about the various “light bulb” moments that have helped him build and execute his idea, and how these ideas will translate to success for Greenbii.

Hope you enjoy this great conversation with Vincent!
