🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼Meet 41-year-old Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 entrepreneur and inventor. William Sachiti is the founder and CEO of Kar-go, a driverless-car manufacturing company, which is known for being Europe's first street-legal self-driving vehicle. His company competes with powerhouses such as Google and Tesla. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Zimbabwean-born, he is an entrepreneur, inventor, and founder and CEO of Academy of Robotics, an autonomous technology company primarily known for developing street-legal self-driving vehicles and solutions for road maintenance.
He started his working life in double glazing before becoming a stockbroker and then finding his calling as an entrepreneur, creating start-ups and technology from inception to acquisition. This involves building teams, creating structure, seeking investment, and ultimately selling on.
William's last start-up grew to be one of Uber UK's largest partners before being acquired by Secret Escapes in 2015.
He then went to university to study Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. While there, he invented the world's first artificially intelligent robot librarian called Hugh and designed an invisible road network used by drones to fly and navigate for deliveries.
In 2019, the Academy of Robotics beat some of the largest companies in the world to launch a street-legal autonomous vehicle, Kar-go, which was unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and is an electric vehicle designed to deliver packages autonomously.
He's raising the Zimbabwean flag high 🇿🇼🇿🇼
