What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

I need a mentor to help me identify areas of improvement in my business operations so that I can scale the company. I am looking to fundraise in 2019, so I would like to get the company, operationally and financially, in a position that is attractive for quality investors.


About my venture

Ethnic District Started 2018

Ethnic District is a global marketplace where you can shop and sell African products online. Think Amazon/Etsy for authentic African products. Users can sign up for a free seller account that gives them access to a free online store, along with a seller dashboard that enables them to manage their products, orders, and customers. Since our launch in March 2018, we have received over 200 orders on the site and a little over 10K in sales, which is not much. However, we have been showing decent growth month over month. I am looking to scale my company by identifying areas of improvement and tightening up on operations.

Countries of operation: United States of America
