⚡ Six months ago he did not know what a Lean Canvas was. Today he has an Outstanding certificate and a scholarship.

Meet Eyong Ayuk Elliot Obie, founder of CEMA — Connected E-Mobility for Africa — a vision for transforming how electric vehicles are deployed across the continent.

The idea was clear in his head. The path from idea to business was not.

Turacos BIT I changed that. Over eight weeks Eyong went from an unvalidated concept to conducting real interviews with fleet operators on the ground in Douala. From vague ambition to building an actual financial model. From theorising about the market to listening to it.

He graduated with a Certificate of Completion rated Outstanding, issued in Bern, Switzerland on June 20, 2026.

And then something even bigger happened.

Eyong was selected as one of only four graduates from the entire cohort to receive a scholarship into Turacos BIT II — six one-on-one coaching sessions with an entrepreneurship expert dedicated entirely to taking CEMA to market.

In his own words: "There are no shortcuts in entrepreneurship."

Congratulations Eyong. Africa's e-mobility future is in good hands. 🚗⚡🇨🇲

She went in with questions. She came out with a certificate and a business.

Meet Fiona Ajimsimbom, a final year Software Engineering and Cybersecurity student who joined the Turacos Business Innovation Training Phase I with three fears that many Cameroonian students carry quietly.

What if I finish my degree and realise I never wanted this career? What if nobody tells me how to land my first role? What if everything I studied is already outdated?

BIT I gave her one powerful shift. Stop guessing. Start validating.

So Fiona went out and talked to real students. What she found was striking. 95% shared the same career anxiety. 75% lacked real world experience. 75% could not find a career mentor.

That data became her business. She built KOMBI — a platform connecting final year students with career mentors through field-specific career events.

Eight weeks. No lesson missed. Every assignment submitted. Certificate of Completion rated Outstanding, issued in Bern, Switzerland on June 20, 2026.

Congratulations Fiona. You are proof that the right program changes everything. 👏

Are you a student sitting on an idea and not knowing where to start? Turacos BIT is for you.

A goal without a plan is just a wish. And a wish has never built a business.

Most young entrepreneurs start the year, the month, or even the week with big ambitions and zero structure. And by the time things get busy, those goals are forgotten. Sound familiar?

Here is how to set business goals that you will actually achieve:

Be specific. Not "I want more customers" but "I want 10 paying customers by the end of this month." Specificity creates accountability.

Make them measurable. If you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it. Attach a number to every goal you set.

Set a deadline. A goal without a deadline is a dream. Give yourself a clear timeframe and work backwards from it.

Write them down. Dr. Gail Matthews of Dominican University found that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them. Your phone notes, a journal, a whiteboard — write it somewhere you see every day.

Review them weekly. Goals are not set and forgotten. Check in every week. What is working? What needs to change? Adjust and keep moving.

Brian Tracy, in "Goals!", says that clarity is the most important quality of successful goal setting. The clearer you are about what you want, the more focused your energy becomes.

At Turacos, our Business Innovation Training program teaches young entrepreneurs in Cameroon and Switzerland to set goals that are bold enough to inspire and specific enough to achieve.

The Right People Change Everything.

That's What Turacos does...

😤 Every entrepreneur will meet a difficult customer. How you handle them will define your reputation.

A late payment. An unreasonable complaint. A customer who keeps changing their mind. A bad review posted publicly. These situations are uncomfortable. But they are also opportunities to show what kind of business you are building.

Here is how to handle difficult customers professionally:

Stay calm first. Your emotions are not your business strategy. Take a breath before you respond. A reaction made in frustration can cost you far more than the customer ever would.

Listen before you defend. Most difficult customers feel unheard. Give them space to express their frustration fully before you respond. Dale Carnegie, in "How to Win Friends and Influence People", says that the only way to win an argument is to avoid it. Listen, acknowledge, and then solve.

Apologise for the experience, not necessarily the fault. You do not always have to admit you were wrong. But you can always acknowledge that the customer had a bad experience and that it matters to you.

Offer a clear solution. Do not leave the conversation open ended. Tell the customer exactly what you will do and when you will do it. Clarity rebuilds trust faster than anything else.

Know when to let go. Not every customer is your customer. Some relationships cost more than they are worth. Protect your energy and your team.

At Turacos, our Business Innovation Training program teaches young entrepreneurs in Cameroon and Switzerland that customer relationships are the heartbeat of every sustainable business. Handle them with care. 💡

💰 Every young entrepreneur wants funding. But are you actually ready for an investor?

Here is the truth. Investors do not fund ideas. They fund people with validated ideas, clear business models, and the discipline to execute. Before you chase funding, make sure you have those three things.

Here is a practical guide to finding investors for your startup:

Start with people you know. Friends, family, and community members who believe in you are your first circle of potential investors. Do not overlook them. Many great businesses started with a small investment from someone close.

Build a track record first. Brad Feld, in "Venture Deals", says that investors bet on traction more than vision. Show results before you ask for money. A paying customer is worth more than a perfect pitch deck.

Look for grants and competitions. In Cameroon and across Africa, there are entrepreneurship grants, pitch competitions, and nonprofit funding opportunities that do not require you to give away equity. Research them. Apply consistently.

Network intentionally. Most investors are found through relationships, not cold emails. Attend entrepreneurship events, pitch sessions, and business forums where investors show up. Be visible. Be prepared.

Perfect your pitch. Know your numbers. Know your market. Know exactly what you need the money for and what results it will produce. An investor who cannot understand your business in two minutes will not fund it.

At Turacos, our Business Innovation Training program prepares young entrepreneurs in Cameroon and Switzerland to be investment ready — not just idea ready.
