Founders & Ecosystem Builders

"I work with a lot of founders, product leaders, and teams, and the challenge of accessing and using accurate, relevant, and context-sensitive information in Africa is real and present. Yuba may have cracked the code on this, and if you're serious about helping founders build products that customers will love, this tool should be a part of your daily product stack."

"I've been testing this tool and I'm really impressed by how powerful it is—not just in surfacing highly relevant sources, but also in providing eye-opeing insights. Even by just running the problem we're solcing for, it provided fresh perspectives tailored to my company's, MYCO, problem space. Yuba is timely, and a much needed intervention, not just to get started, but also to check oneself along the process."
