Show notes

From a small village to running a multi-million-dollar tech company—this is the story of Davis Nteziryayo. In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, I sit down with the Founder and CEO of Huza, a Rwandan HR fintech now valued at over $10 million, with operations across East and West Africa. We explore his journey as a software engineer turned CEO, the role of Kigali’s tech hubs like Norrsken, and whether Rwanda is on the brink of producing its first billion-dollar startup. We also dive into the future of jobs, AI, blockchain disruption, and what advice Davis has for young Africans dreaming of launching their own ventures. This conversation is a masterclass in ambition, strategy, and staying rooted in your purpose. #AfricanTech #RwandaStartups #DavisNteziryayo #TheLongFormPodcast #KigaliInnovation #TechInAfrica #AIinAfrica #HuzaTech #NorrskenKigali #YouthEmpowerment #RwandanDiaspora #DigitalAfrica #BlockchainAfrica Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739 Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.com Produced by LF Media
