The CEO and
founder of Quick Angels Limited and Quick Credit, Richard
Nii Armah Quaye has participated in a student’s club programme in the
prestigious Harvard Business School in the United States that discussed investment
in Africa and its impact.
Mr. Quaye
was invited by the Entrepreneurship through Acquisition at Harvard Business
School to speak at their 5th annual conference on the theme “Opportunities
for early career business leaders to search for, acquire and operate their own
companies,” and he took advantage to explain his nurturing of the first formalized
Angel Investor Company in Ghana and a micro credit company licensed by Bank of
Ghana (BoG).
The
organizers selected Quick Angels Limited’s boss whose business has been
described as a critical success case.
Mr. Quaye
said “harnessing the potential of entrepreneurs through equity funding could
not be any better,” adding that “I am elated that barely a year in business as
First Angel Investor Company in Ghana and the world has heard the good news.”
He said he
is determined “to project equity financing as an alternative to debt financing
and also promote the name of Ghana to the world.”
The
conference brought together over 500 young professionals, CEOs and investors
from around the world.
