VC4Africa will attend the Private Equity World Africa conference on the 19th -21st of March 2012. This is also a great opportunity to organize a VC4Africa meetup and bring together members in the area!
See photos from the previous event!
The first meetup was held in London (on Dec. 4th, 2009) and brought together between 20-30 members. The group was diverse and included people from UK, Ethiopia, South Africa, Senegal, Zimbabwe, Surinam, Kenya, Nigeria, India, Ghana. The break up was also diverse across professions (entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, lawyers, etc).
It will be great to follow up this initial meetup with a second event. We look forward to seeing old and new faces! In the meantime, feel free to contact me at ben [at] vc4africa.biz.
Speak soon and happy networking,

What is a VC4Africa Meetup?
Second to networking online, VC4Africa makes use of the Barcamp model (an international network of user generated conferences – open, participatory workshop/events, whose content is provided by participants) to organize our very own series of VC4Africa Meetups. We like this open format because it means that anyone can participate. Any member of VC4Africa can organize a meeting in their area whenever they feel there is a need. As with all VC4Africa Meetups, they are simply 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 : ) As VC4Africa we help you organize the meeting and promote it across the network. Events have already been hosted in Kigali, Kampala, Nairobi (2x), Johannesburg, Lagos, Tunis, San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington DC, New York, London, Leuven and Amsterdam.

About A.D. KING
Named after his grandfather, Rev. Dr. Alfred Daniel Williams King was born on July 30, 1930. Affectionately known as "A.D.", Rev. King never sought fame or popularity as he played his significant roles in coordinating the logistic operations behind the civil rights movement. Rev. A.D. King was a true soldier of great transformation through nonviolent social change. He fulfilled a commitment to support the movement by leading the Poor People's Campaign, the Birmingham Civil Rights Campaign, co-founding the Southern Christian Leadership Coalition, and building congregations at Mt. Vernon Baptist Church (Newnan, Georgia), First Baptist Church of Ensley (Birmingham, Alabama), Zion Baptist Church (Louisville, Kentucky), and Ebenezer Baptist Church (Atlanta, GA) where he served as co-paster after the death of his brother Martin Luther King, Jr.
No stranger to controversy, Rev. A.D. King had a strong presence and influence at every world-changing moment during the 60s. He, too, was jailed during the lunch counter sit-ins, attacked during the marches and, on May 11, 1963 experienced the horror of having his home bombed by the Klu Klux Klan. After the death of a civil rights lawyer, Rev. A.D. King's strength was demonstrated as he quieted an angry crowd by jumping on the back of a pickup truck, loudspeaker in hand, and stating "If you are going to kill someone, then kill me. Stand up for your rights, but with nonviolence." Other historical moments for Rev. A.D. King included creating his youth organizations that are still in existence, supporting and educating many children every year.
Rev. Dr. A.D. King paid dearly with his life on July 21, 1969 — one year after the assassination of his older brother Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. — for preaching love as an instrument of change and not war. Though recorded as an accidental drowning in his swimming pool, his controversial death does not overshadow his vision. Rev. A.D. King believed that building bridges of mutual understanding, cooperation, goodwill, respect and love for humanity across gender, race, religion and culture will achieve peaceful coexistence and bring us closer to building a peaceful loving and gracious beloved community of humanity.
