Delivering 140 Million Health Products to the Last Mile and Counting: Kasha Global's Joanna Bichsel on Rewiring Africa's Health Supply Chain
What does it take to flip a broken health supply chain upside down and rebuild it from the last mile up? Kasha Global is doing exactly that—delivering pharmaceuticals, medical consumables, and fast-moving consumer goods to underserved communities across nine countries in Africa, using a fully technology-enabled logistics and data platform. Season 2 of the BCV Podcast continues—with the introduction of a new co-host from the Beyond Capital Ventures team—as our Managing Partner Eva Yazhari and Venture Partner Patricia Chin-Sweeney sit down with Joanna Bichsel, Founder and CEO of Kasha, a BCV portfolio company. Joanna shares the deeply personal story behind Kasha's founding, the company's hard-won evolution from startup to scale, and why the shift from donor-driven aid to tech-enabled trade is creating the biggest opportunity in African healthtech that she's ever experienced.
