  EP43 | Build Your Brand, Then Scale: Marko Stavrou’s Founder Guide

  Jan 21, 202622 minS0

  Entrepreneur Marko Stavrou (“the Gen Z guy”) talks about starting Gen Link after a Standard Bank brief to connect young people to the bank’s ecosystem, and how the company has since worked with 50+ clients. He explains why many organisations overlook youth (low current spending power, short-term optimisation), and argues for data-led decisions grounded in direct customer research - using Capitec’s in-branch demand as an example. He details Gen Z channel behaviour (avoid email; view WhatsApp as personal; often don’t see services because of misfit distribution), and describes his team’s creator-driven research platform.<br /> <br /> On media, Marko outlin...

  EP 42 | “Sell Intelligence, Not Raw Data” - Mark Nasila on Data Sovereignty

  Jan 14, 202643 minS0

  AI must create real value, not just proofs-of-concept. Dr. Mark Nasila explains how FNB’s risk function uses data and AI to stay ahead of evolving regulation and fraud -preventing some R2 billion in losses annually - and why people now make decisions after AI aggregates the evidence (including small language models drafting forensic reports for roughly 220,000 investigations a year). He details how to avoid hallucinations and over-reliance on tools with a clear human-in-the-loop sign-off. <br /> <br /> From “African AI” as a value-first agenda (health, energy, local constraints) to the industry’s fixation on use cases over end-to-end transformation, Nasila argues t...

  EP 39 | Keeping African Agency in AI: Vukosi Marivate’s Call to Build

  Dec 24, 202526 minS0

  Keep African agency in AI - that’s the through-line of Prof. Vukosi Marivate’s talk. Don’t outsource the future, build it locally. He points to a decade of grassroots work (Data Science Africa, Deep Learning Indaba, Masakhane) and argues for a full ecosystem: fundamental researchers, model builders, product teams, and real markets to test and absorb what’s built. He stresses R&D investment (AU benchmark 1% of GDP; SA ~0.6% after a corporate pullback from ~0.8% pre-COVID), and the role both government and corporates must play. <br /> <br /> Language is a priority - with 2000+ African languages, we need digital dictionaries, speech r...
