Looking for startups

[fredericoagent]

Hi All,

I am a journalist for a newspaper in the UK and I am on the look out
for 4-5 internet startups started by africans in europe.

If anybody can suggest startups that warrant coverage then please let
me know. Ideally I am looking for startups that are less than 3 years
old or in development and that are founded by atleast one african born
entrepreneur who lives in europe or studying in europe prior to
returning to african to launch.

Thankyou

I don't know of any startups started by Africans in Europe, but I run a successful software startup in Africa (Uganda). But I'm also a balck a American who moved to Uganda, so I guess I'm out on both sides.  lol

You are amazing!  Thank you so much for sending me that contact!

 

I am attaching MXit’s international expansion plans for your info (they are very keen on developing programmes that help global (and African) youth to communicate, learn, read, etc.  Some of this info is in the release and may be of interest to you (I think... am judging by the name on your email address..).

 

Take care Ismail, and thanks for that!

 

Sandra
