Sustainability and Impact Global Series by Filipe Alfaiate @ Nova Business and Economics School

Episode notes

In this episode we look into Yebo Fresh. A startup that in its first year had to re-invent itself when lock-down first hit in South African, and, as a consequence, saw their volumes grow by thirty times almost overnight. Listen to the impact journey of this a groundbreaking enterprise supplying township communities with affordable on-demand business and home grocery deliveries – something unheard before! Join us as we tackle challenging points. How to do the last mile delivery in so many times there are no door numbers, no street names? How using technologies is leveraging their model to create more opportunities? What is the right amount of private and public funding? A work researched and put together by graduate students Cláudia Pinhal, Ilaria Traetta, Matilde Gazzaniga, Juan Ignacio Conde, Manon Michele Prot.
