[Ricardo Schäfer @SchaeferRic]

Really enjoyed my chat with @JillPetz at @tech_eu about why I am so bullish on companies like @kudabank @GoCasava and the general "make it or die" attitude of so many founders in Africa. #africantech #africanvc

[Tech.eu @tech_eu]

@JillPetz As EU and African Union leaders meet today in Brussels to try and reboot damaged relations at the #EUAUSummit, we talked to @PartechPartners, @schaeferric @TargetGlobalVC and @norrsken_org about European VC's (and China’s) fast-developing interest in the African tech market.

[Ricardo Schäfer @SchaeferRic]

@tech_eu @JillPetz @PartechPartners @TargetGlobalVC @norrsken_org Great to discuss the rise of of African tech with you!

[Ricardo Schäfer @SchaeferRic]

Great initiative!!!
