About this listen

Silicon Valley meets Indiana Jones.

Chasing Black Unicorns is an autobiography written by Marek Zmyslowski, one of Poland’s most respected internet entrepreneurs. Witty and humorous, the book covers many dramatic and often dangerous events.

Before moving to Nigeria to set up the "Amazon of Africa", Zmyslowski worked for one of Poland’s biggest financial services companies and is the founder of many online ventures in Central Europe.

While establishing the first online network of funeral services in Poland, he had to overcome challenges from criminal gangs running the market sector. His businesses in Nigeria have also made him enemies - powerful individuals who have corrupted police and government officials to stand against him.

Overnight, Marek became an international fugitive and was put on the most wanted list by Interpol, an organization with a history of being manipulated by corrupt regimes. Zmyslowski describes this and many other events, putting them in the context of African history and cultures, a continent he is now deeply in love with.

Having started my career in Eastern Europe and also having co- founded a startup in Africa I could relate to a number of the stories told and I loved the brutal honesty at which the story is told! Looking forward to hear more about Mareks adventures and its inspired me to share more of my own! / Joar

i struggled to finish. stopped at chapter 10. maybe there would have been more substance later on but the first 10 chapters gave nothin in terms of the business environmemt im Nigeria, the characters anf mindset of the people in the ecosystem or even an inclination of lessons. its a typical Osuofia comes to London story. in Marek's case. he came to nigeria. He encounters traffic, women and poor electricity

Just a white boy story of discovering Africa
