E32: Eric Agyemang on the immigrant's tendency to underestimate their value

"Don't dim your light."

Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I’d personally send you a thank you email.

Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.


In this episode, I’m speaking with the wonderful Eric Agyemang of Maple Bridge Ventures.

There’s so much to unpack in this episode. But if there’s one thing you should take from the conversation, it’s DON’T DIM YOUR LIGHT.

Eric and his team at Maple Bridge VC are investing in immigrant founders in Canada. And he joined me on The Newcomers Podcast to chat about:

  • Owning your narrative

  • Tips for immigrant founders looking to raise funds

  • Common challenges immigrant entrepreneurs face

  • Why an immigrant is a natural for entrepreneurship

  • And his journey from international student to venture capitalist.

Enjoy! And remember.

Don’t dim your light. You’ve got this.
