Jones also notes that the ecosystem since then has grown- from days of not having enough seed capital, to a more opportune time wherein exits and more VCs are present in the ecosystem. Jones adds, “This region is still undercapitalized. There is stil a lot of interest for VCs, institutional investments, and angel investors to bring money from outside the region, into the region. There’s a huge area of growth to happen in this region.”
