Our Story
The Disconnect
We’re witnessing a remarkable transformation. More and more Africans are driving innovation in Silicon Valley—leading at top tech companies, VCs, and startups. At the same time, across Africa, founders are creating solutions that can scale globally and redefine industries. The talent and innovation are undeniable, but the ecosystems remain disconnected. Silicon Valley has the capital, networks, and expertise, but many investors hesitate because they don’t fully grasp Africa’s immense potential.
