The guy who turned his failure of electrifying Chad into a social entrepreneurship "success story"
Welcome to 2023 and one of the first “proper” blog posts in a while-I hope more will follow this year! A few years ago there was a little bit of a hype in #globaldev and #ICT4D circles around the concept of “ fail festivals ” and the notion of openly acknowledging and critically engaging with failed projects. A German entrepreneur and sustainability influencer on LinkedIn also shared a story of failure, this time from Chad, but it was more in the spirit of praising persistence, not giving up and better-failing-than-not-trying that you often find with viral posts on LinkedIn . Well, it seems that Torsten Schreiber, the founder & CEO of Africa GreenTec AG and #LinkedInTopVoices #Nachhaltigkeit 2022 influencer blocked me after leaving a critical comment under his recent post on why he had to give up on his dream of electrifying Chad. Both his post and my reply were in German, so you have to trust my translation. How it started : Failure. Retreat. For a social entrepreneur like me
