Renowned for being sources of innovation and fostering cutting-edge research, universities also serve as hubs for entrepreneurship, providing students and alumni with the resources and support to launch groundbreaking businesses. Alumna, Ofentse Lekwane and Professor Joanna Berry from our Business School demonstrate this innovation and mentorship with their latest collaboration through the Venture Lab.
Ofentse Lekwane, a former tech consultant and Durham University Business School graduate, returned to establish her startup, Wakari. Drawing from her own experiences with disabilities in the corporate world,she created Wakari as an accessibility index to help organisations measure and enhance their progress toward disability inclusion. "Part of my personality is that I've always loved entrepreneurship," Ofentse shares, while also acknowledging the challenges of taking the leap into starting her own business.
