i give the same solution to this startup problem many time over ... i also give very simple example
let say u have very good song , or u r song writer ,, all u have to do is go to one of music produce and sale your idea or music to one of the music produce and they will spend money on the video clip and other cost and they pay u x amount of money ,, if the music is good they pay you extra this business model was practiced even under Amhara rule. all our biggest artist pass thru this business model..
now what we need is just like music produce we need investors who invest on those idea.. it is very simple u go to the inverter u pitch business idea... if the investor like your idea they invest on you that simple and they get the benefit..
now unlike the music this investment help Ethiopian economy and save foreign currency hence the Ethiopian government must involved and give this investor tax break.. land free. and all kind of incentive including soft loan .. including loan forgiveness...
now what is the next step is business incubator ..... just like industrial park we build shade for our local entrepreneur.... the rent would be free for six month to years until the business pick and run... second the business share other business service ... this means one business doesnt need to own everything for example if they need Metal Laser Cutters not all business should have it if one business have it the other can rent or get the service this way many big machine can be shared between business
for example not everyone have to have this machine ... they get service by paying this way the startup capital will low and the business once grow to support it self then they can buy their own and that is how u start business from zero.
