I currently hold the titles of CEO at www.raintreefarms.com and CMO at www.remit.ug. I know the problem of not being able to pull in VC capital all too well. Traditional VC have a vague understanding of African markets. In fact, the reason that VC turned from philanthropy is probably because he’d actually been on the ground and tried his hand at projects. He understands how difficult that is but also saw opportunities for himself, and more importantly, realized who is best suited to maximize them.
