How Dawit Abraham Built Ethiopia's First Gaming Startup - Beemi

From earning just $90 a month as a junior software engineer to raising $180,000 for his startup, Dawit Abraham’s story is one of grit, failure, and ultimate breakthrough. In this episode of Financially Incorrect: Business Edition, Barrack sits down with the co-founder and CEO of Beemi, Ethiopia’s first gaming studio, to unpack how a dream that started with a simple mobile game turned into a tech movement. Dawit shares how he went from teaching himself code and crashing startup exhibitions to pitching investors who had never funded a gaming company before. He talks about losing everything after winning Best Entertainment App in Africa, rebuilding from zero, and landing a publishing deal with Carry1st, Africa’s largest game distributor. Beyond the hustle, this conversation dives into what it really takes to build in a market with no playbook from navigating low pay and lack of infrastructure to finding belief in your own vision when no one else does. This is a masterclass in resilience, innovation, and what it means to bet on Africa before the world does.Help Shape the Future of Financially Incorrect – Take Less Than 5 Mins: https://shorturl.at/3iiJZWant to Be Featured on Financially Incorrect?
