". I was fortunate to pitch live to the audience while TD watched. I recall what he told me when we next met, “I am going to help you grow and raise funds.” 4 years later, as an investor and advisory board member, TD has supported FlexiSAF to scale and sustain the business. He is instrumental in our strategy, corporate governance, networking and business development. TD is the number 1 Angel investor I know in Africa and does it passionately.”
