Help celebrate our 1 year anniversary!

Dear members,

As some of you might know, the VC4Africa.com initiative is now one-year old.

In celebration of this milestone, Joel and I have registered the project as a contestant of the Idea Blob contest. This is a chance for the VC4Africa community to win USD 10.000. Don't worry, the money doesn't go into our pockets :) Instead, the money will be used to pay the salaries of young developers in Kampala, Uganda. These funds mean we can add new tools (Afridex.net) and improve the functionality of the VC4Africa.com community. Bottom line, we can achieve even more as a community.

The competition lasts one week. Please take the time to vote and help us spread the word!

You can find our entry at: http://ideablob.com/ideas/5808-VC4Africa-com-Connecting-inve

Feel free to forward this e-mail to friends and colleagues.
Look forward to starting our second year with a bang!

Ben

p.s. if you have any questions about the competition or ideas for promoting it... just let me know. b.white@vc4africa.com

I voted for VC4Africa.
