Kasha Global is doing exactly that—delivering pharmaceuticals, medical consumables, and fast-moving consumer goods to underserved communities across nine countries in Africa, using a fully technology-enabled logistics and data platform.\n\nSeason 2 of the BCV Podcast continues—with the introduction of  a new co-host from the Beyond Capital Ventures  team—as our Managing Partner Eva Yazhari and Venture Partner Patricia Chin-Sweeney sit down with Joanna Bichsel, Founder and CEO of Kasha, a BCV portfolio company. Joanna shares the deeply personal story behind Kasha's founding, the company's hard-won evolution from startup to scale, and why the shift from donor-driven aid to tech-enabled trade is creating the biggest opportunity in African healthtech that she's ever experienced.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/F8SzKQblMKFOmgKCwGccqaWSFuPqLKD4ord56scVAY0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84NTQ1/MzQ2OTZjMjc0N2Rl/NzExY2NiZDI2NTNj/MDVmOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
