Work culture around the world varies wildly. Always interesting to see Founders break through to success despite the differences in culture.

Hi,

I'm helping organize the meetups in Lagos and Abuja. Hit me up if you have any questions or suggestions. I'd encourage people from neighbouring countries to take the trip down. So I hope to see people from Benin, Cameroon, Togo and of course Ghana

Thanks a lot Kat and team for making this happen! Hopefully it will be the first of many.

Here are the sign up links.

Interesting choice of countries. What was the rationale?

Would it be possible to add Egypt to the list? :)

Tel Aviv is just 1 hour flight away. I can help make a visit here very interesting and productive for you :D Hope to visit Egypt some day!

Tel Aviv is just one hour away if you can get into the country. I don't know about Egypt specifically, but I know some countries in that area aren't on the best of terms with Israel...

Is there any specific reason why YC left out China? China has a hug community and great success in startups.

We were there earlier this year. And we'll go again soon.
