“Africa is said to be the next frontier.” - This has been predicted by many leading people in the industry.
The startup revolution in Africa is bringing a major impact not only locally but also to global markets. You probably already know about Naspers (the South African media and technology giant that acquired redBus) and Andela (the technology training and job placement firm received Series C funding from CRE Venture Capital, DBL Partners, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Salesforce Ventures, among others).
We are co-hosting this exclusive event along with Ingenious Faces. Know more about the African ecosystem from the delegate of 16 media entrepreneurs who are visiting Bangalore. Network with these entrepreneurs to explore mutual synergies and collaboration opportunities in the African market.

I work at the intersection of product, people, and marketing. Giving back selflessly and helping entrepreneurs thrive gives me immense joy and eternal peace. I had the opportunity to do the same for three years in the past by being involved at Headstart Network Foundation. After going through the entrepreneurial journey of trying to build two ventures, I now have a deeper understanding of the needs, gaps, and opportunities that would make entrepreneurs not survive but thrive. I am at StartupGrind to do just that i.e anything and everything to make you win!
