Description

In this episode of Nohemie & Co., I sit down with the founders of Jambo Jus, one of Kinshasa’s first cold-pressed juice brands that made it onto local retail shelves and became a household name — until scaling challenges nearly shut it down.

Half Congolese, half European, the founding brothers returned to DRC to build a business from scratch — with no formal finance or supply chain background.

They share the hard truths about:

• Managing rapid early success in an unstable supply chain
• The reality of sourcing fruits in Kinshasa’s volatile local markets
• Struggles with stockouts, price negotiation, and managing vendors
• Why they weren’t ready for demand when it exploded
• Lessons for diaspora returning home to build scalable brands
