Joe Kinvey, founder of Borderless, shares his entrepreneurial journey from failing due to the 'black tax'—the pressure to send money home—to building a fintech platform that enables the global African diaspora to invest collectively in African startups. He outlines five key lessons on turning personal pain into a scalable platform that builds trust, leverages community, and aims to close Africa's massive funding gap.
