In Ethiopia's startup ecosystem, the headlines are often dominated by exciting launches. But what happens after the fanfare fades?
The challenging journeys that follow rarely receive the same attention, and stories of failure are even less likely to be shared publicly.
Here at Shega, we believe there's valuable learning to be found in both successes and setbacks. That's why we're launching a new series called Shega Forensics, which delves into the failures of startups, products, and business models in our ecosystem.
In our first edition, we sit down with Berbera Market, an e-commerce platform that recently shut down its operations.
We are grateful to the Berbera team for sharing their story with us.
