Our Story: Turning Frustration into Opportunity

Despite years of experience in global business, software development, and sales, when I set out to start a business in Ethiopia, I quickly realized my expertise meant nothing in the face of **unclear regulations, slow-moving bureaucracy, and contradictory answers.** Every step forward was met with new roadblocks—missing documents, unexplained delays, and inconsistent requirements.

I wasn’t alone. Investors, entrepreneurs, and even locals faced the same challenges. The result? Promising ventures stalled before they could even begin. The problem wasn’t just inefficiency—it was actively limiting Ethiopia’s economic potential.

That’s why I started Start Ethiopia. We believe Ethiopia should be a land of opportunity, not red tape. Our mission is simple: **eliminate barriers, fast-track business setup, and give investors the tools and confidence to succeed.** By doing so, we’re not just helping businesses—we’re helping build a stronger, more prosperous Ethiopia.
