Frequently Asked Questions

Who do we interview?

Our interviews center around our belief that tech has the power to unite the African Diaspora to take action towards our sustainable development. With that in mind, we conduct three types of interviews:

Product Interviews: Highlight the products built by Africa’s tech talent (engineers, developers, designers, data scientists, etc.).
‍
Talent Accelerator Interviews: Share the stories of change-agents and the programs they’re creating to equip Africa’s human talent with tech skills (accelerator programs, boot camps, conferences, etc.)
‍
Collaboration Interviews: Celebrate people in the Diaspora collaborating with Africa’s tech talent. (i.e., UK founder working with Kenyan Engineer or American UI/UX Designer working with a Nigerian developer to build a product.)
