Great product, great traction. New to the Bay Area and looking to raise? Let’s discuss how to navigate creating relationships and building your own network in Silicon Valley. A key part of unlocking funding for underrepresented founders is building relationships and networks. Many still have challenges doing this optimally. What should an ambitious founder from Africa do? Is the experience different from what other founders have been through? Let’s have a very open transparent discussion on how to show up, and build authentic and powerful approaches to Silicon Valley networking. This is a roundtable discussion – come share your thoughts and learn from other perspectives too!
