Veridique Musambaghani’s entrepreneurial spirit emerged when he was just 11 years old and stirred up by his aunt he launched his first small business – Trading of sugar confectionery products for children. As electricity was almost inexistent in his home town (Goma – DRC), he expanded his start-up and started a home delivery business of paraffin oil, all before college. In 2012, while in his second year of college, he noted the inexistence of a copy and print service to serve the students of his university, so he partnered with a friend and from a tiny initial cash investment of less than $500 USD, a year onward they topped $36500 USD in terms of revenue and decided to expand by acquiring a restaurant. Featured by his professor of entrepreneurship as the perfect embodiment of a true entrepreneur, he kept coming up with new ideas and just before his graduation in Economics and Management he teamed up with another friend and together they asked their selves what to do to make an impact given the situation of their region (Eastern Part of Congo) home to the world’s worst and most protracted humanitarian emergencies. Action of the future NPO was thus launched in march 2014 and is up to date working on the vision of sustainable development.

He is passionate about finance and entrepreneurship and comes up with new ideas all the time, if only there was more time to implement them all.
