ReD Market On's Vision Meets Africa’s Boldest Business Minds

Entrepreneur Network Meeting: A Moment of Real Connection and Growth

ReD Market On was recently represented by our CEO & Founder, Zaqueu Orlando, at the Entrepreneur Network—a powerful gathering of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and innovators from across the continent.

This wasn’t just another business event—it was a moment of reflection, inspiration, and action. The type of environment where knowledge flows freely, partnerships are born, and vision is sharpened.

Shared Wisdom That Resonated

What stood out most during the event was the quality and depth of the conversations. Real entrepreneurs shared their challenges and triumphs, offering lessons not from theory—but from lived experience.

Among the most impactful moments were the keynotes by @legend_sheldon and @luvuyorani.

• Sheldon, the founder of Legend, one of the region’s most successful companies, shared hard-earned insights into scaling a business without compromising its purpose.
• Luvuyo Rani, who began his journey in the tech space and grew into a respected figure at corporate level, highlighted the importance of diversity, adaptability, and staying grounded in your mission.

Their stories were more than motivational—they were proof that African excellence is real, growing, and rooted in community and purpose.

Building Businesses Beyond Borders

One of the biggest takeaways from this experience was how essential it is to think beyond local markets. The conversations weren’t just about doing business—they were about doing meaningful business, with a vision that stretches beyond borders.

For us at ReD Market On, this was confirmation. Our mission to deliver Africa to Africans—and to the world is not just a tagline—it’s an active movement. One that thrives on cross-border collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and platforms that empower vendors to grow with purpose.

A Vision Strengthened Through Purpose

For our founder Zaqueu Orlando, attending this event was not only about representing ReD Market—it was about deepening the platform’s purpose. It reinforced why ReD Market exists:
To connect people, ideas, and businesses across Africa and create value through trade, storytelling, and innovation.

Through the stories of leaders like Sheldon and Luvuyo Rani, we’re reminded that purpose must always lead growth—and that with the right network, African entrepreneurs can build brands that reach the world without losing their roots.

Moving Forward Together

ReD Market On will continue to build on these connections, forging a platform where African entrepreneurs can access opportunity, technology, and each other.

By staying rooted in our core purpose and reaching outward with clarity and confidence, we’re not just creating an online marketplace—we’re creating a movement that reflects the brilliance, resilience, and ambition of African businesses.

Stay connected with ReD Market On.
We’ll continue sharing moments like this—where community, commerce, and culture meet—to inspire the next generation of African business builders.
