Event Description

Dear Members,

One of our members and a close colleague Bart LaCroix would like to organize a VC4Africa Meetup in Nairobi. I think this is a great idea. I am reaching out to you to see if you feel the same way!

We need to choose a location (maybe someone has suggestions) that is easy to reach and information. The event will simply be a place for members to meet one another and share thoughts and ideas. No speeches, no agenda, nothing planned. The loose structure allows for lots of networking. Just remember, everyone is expected to pay for their own drinks.

Moving forward, we need to organize. If you want to help out please add your name to the list and help spread the word!

Greetings,
Ben and Bart

Yesterday was the first VC4Africa meetup in Nairobi. With over 30 people attending it was a great succes. Thank you all for coming.

Lydia Anyangu has volunteered to organize the second VC4Africa Nairobi meetup within two months.

Hello members, Goan gymkhana opp to Kenya Museum is an ideal place in my vies. It has plenty of parking and near to town. Also if members are serious i can arrange their meeting at 10 usd per person including Buffet lunch and entry fee. Of course they have to pay for their own drinks. Interested members have to confirm 3 days prior to 30th July to book the place.

Regards

k.kumar.
