Christian Kwizera
Christian's older brother started a film production company to help cover his medical school fees. Christian was his first employee.

Adrien Hakizimana
Adiren worked as a vet for 30 years. He started Kerebuka cane, a pig farming business in 2023 as there is a growing demand for pork meat in Burundi, and he realised this could be both a profitable project as well as one which wouldn't require much space.
Dismas Gashobotse
Dismas worked in COTEBU, one of the largest textile companies in Burundi, for over 25 years. He started Twiyungunganye in 2023 as he had formerly been an agricultuerer, and felt the practices he had previously used could be improved on. He also wanted to start a business that would help fight hunger and food scarcity which is sadly widespread in Burundi.
Regis Vyizigiro
Regis studied computer science and telecommunication. He started Jabuka Logistics in 2023 after realising the problems that many suppliers in Burundi face in transporting their goods from place to place, particularly from the countryside to the towns.
