Wow! I'm so impressed with the interviewer. She knows her topic and she asked very good questions. Especially the one on what startups and VCs are contributing for the continent. We must be careful about people who just see our continent as another place to bet and win. Personally I'm glad to be past the "startup hype" since a lot of our countries don't have the means to produce our own food we should shift our focus to basic but important stuff instead of mimicking what westerners deem sexy in business.
