Entrepreneur Journal: Ashifi Gogo
(Reuters) – Growing up in Ghana, Ashifi Gogo was amazed that he could surf the Internet on his mobile phone from anywhere, but couldn’t always get clean tap water to drink. “The only state-of-the-art infrastructure we have is our cellphone network,” said Gogo, a 28-year-old Dartmouth College engineering graduate, who co-founded Sproxil Inc., a cell-phone based drug authentication service. Gogo said the decision by many African nations to privatize the mobile industry has inadvertently created tremendous opportunities to help solve widespread problems such as counterfeiting. Gogo hopes Sproxil will help end the “menace” of counterfeit drugs in Africa and other developing nations. The following is Gogo’s personal five-day entrepreneur journal, exclusively for Reuters.com.
