I am Dr. Yarou Bao Sero Razack, entrepreneur, mentor, and international consultant bridging digital innovation, agribusiness, and e-commerce across Africa and China. As co-founder of Ahiyoyo and a consultant with APIEx Bénin (a local government agency) and the UN’s ITC, I assist startups and SMEs in scaling through market entry strategies, export readiness, and digital transformation.
I have successfully raised capital for my ventures and have assisted other companies in securing funding to drive growth. My passion lies in empowering African entrepreneurs to grow sustainably and compete globally, offering support through mentoring and strategic advisory roles.

Mentoring is fundamental to my profile because it allows me to empower and support the next generation of African entrepreneurs. By sharing my experience, I help startups avoid pitfalls, raise capital, and scale sustainably. It’s also my way of giving back to the ecosystem, amplifying my impact beyond my ventures. Mentoring keeps me connected to new ideas and challenges, fostering continuous learning. Ultimately, it aligns with my purpose to drive sustainable growth and global competitiveness for African businesses.
