The Accidental Pharmapreneur: Hard-learnt Lessons from Grace Munyirwa on Private Equity and Venture Capital  Over the last decade, Uganda has seen a number of private equity entries and exits in Uganda. While some exits have been smooth, others have had mixed feelings with some founders having mixed feelings about the whole process, and not least the final outcomes. The latest deal to stir up some emotions has been the merger of Rocket Health, Guardian Health and Kenya’s MyDawa. The transaction involves some key PE firms in the region: Creadev, Alta Semper and Ion Capital, among others. While the deal presents a larger world of opportunities for all the players involved, including the Rocket Health founders, a section of the founders have had some misgivings about the whole deal. In light of the Rocket Health transaction, the CEO East Africa Magazine had an extensive and candid conversation with Mr. Grace Munyirwa, the Founder of Vine Pharmaceuticals, where he shared his own experience of dealing with Private Equity funds and the hard-learnt lessons therefrom— a must-read for anyone contemplating on entering a PE deal or exiting one.
