About the Community Founder

• My name is Walinase Chunda, I work as a Senior Commercial Analyst where I leverage data to help companies make better business decisions. What I love most about my job is that I get to solve problems and help companies use data to identify business opportunities. Aside from working with data, I am also passionate about seeing people maximise their full potential and achieve their goals.

  One of the biggest barriers to people achieving their goals is not that they are not good enough or lack the skills but it’s because they lack access to networks. In fact, The most predictable indicator of success is luck-specifically, where you are born and who your parents are. If you are born into a successful family, you are more likely to achieve success; conversely, if you are born into a low-income family, you are more likely to be low-income. Why?Beyond financial security and direct inheritance, a significant factor is due to the cultural and social capital that successful parents provide. These parents can often impart valuable skills and knowledge about managing wealth, navigating professional environments, and giving their children access to the right network.

  With The dream platform, our aim is connect young professionals across East and Southern Africa and give them the opportunity to expand their network and meet people outside of their usual circle. We are creating a platform where we can provide people with the opportunity to be at the right place and the right time.
