Dagim Teklay

📍 Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia

I am a social entrepreneur, Taekwondo master, and disability inclusion advocate .

I am the Founder of Bright Minds Disability Empowerment Center, where we design programs that empower persons with disabilities through adaptive sports, technology access, entrepreneurship training, and leadership development.

I also founded Dass Venture Community, a growing entrepreneurial network that connects founders, innovators, and young professionals through regular meetups and discussions. The community creates a collaborative space where entrepreneurs share experiences, solve challenges, build partnerships, and strengthen their ventures.

In addition, I founded Mansa Express, a logistics startup focused on improving access to markets, digital commerce, and delivery services for underserved communities.

My work is driven by a simple belief: innovation and entrepreneurship can transform communities when people are given the skills, networks, and opportunities to lead.

I’m always open to connecting with entrepreneurs, investors, organizations, and partners working in social innovation, entrepreneurship ecosystems, disability inclusion, youth empowerment, and impact-driven ventures
