Mira Mehta left a profitable career in finance in the U.S. and moved to Nigeria—not with plans to build a company, but in search of something more meaningful. What she found instead were miles of rotting tomatoes in the sun. Starting with a $25,000 prize, she turned that observation into a business, raising over $18 million to build a tomato processing plant in the country.
