PalmFronds<\/h3>\n

Our third team is a group of four people, all originally hailing from Nigeria, and they’ve come together to create PalmFronds<\/a>.

Segura<\/h3>\n

Founded by Diego Segura, Segura<\/a> offers the possibility of creating a company for low-income people from Latin America who do not have an idea or money to start a business. The idea is to generate business templates \u2013 like Canva but for premade businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Samson Project<\/h3>\n
