Increasing investment in Africa

[Anthony Stonefield]

Feels like we need to get going ASAP or lose some of the first mover advantage. Note the second video as more applicable to Africa4Ward...

Fully agree. 

Anthony - I thought the africaforward.com domain was available for USD200.00. 
I really prefer this one. 

Best

Just to be clear, we're talking about Africa4ward.com (we own now) and AfricaForward.com (owner wants $2K). I last countered the owner of AfricaForward.com $250 against his $3,950, and he came back with $2,000. Personally, I don't think we should pay more than $500 for AfricaForward.com at this stage.

In that case Africa4ward.com will be our common denominator.

Could you have a look to the bio on appendix, if it's ok for all of us we can insert it on the organization's profile.

Guys,

My Bio edit was missing. Now added, attached. Don't we want to mention that we are all natives of different African countries?

Thanks Ant, I like this quote from the write up:

"It's one thing if you've got a few dollars to invest, it is very nice," Bonderman said at the DealBook conference in New York on Nov. 12. "But if you are running a Carlyle and you are trying to invest $500 million a crack, it is not so easy in a place like southern Africa."

This is the gap we are trying to fill.

Cheers

Julius
