Our Alliance is a network of African leaders living in the Silicon Valley. The best and brightest minds from Africa are coming together as they dare to transform the future of the African continent. Silicon Valley Africans is working towards establishing an ecosystem that will support the aspirations of its members through mentorship and community events. As our organization continues to grow, 5 values define the way we work and the decisions we make each day to help achieve our mission
Building an impactful community of spearheads cannot be achieved without collaboration. We live by a saying: "If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together."
Being right should not come at the expense of being wrong. Risk mitigators are well aware. They enjoy working in fast-paced environments where challenging the status quo allows for the best ideas to win out. At Silicon Valley Africans, this is how we want to redefine leadership. Our Alliance calls upon all African change makers in the Silicon Valley to have the courage to take risks and learn from their mistakes as they dare to shape the future of Africa.
The Silicon Valley Africans' community is committed to supporting leaders who strive to be the best they can at everything they do.
As inevitable as change is in society, so is innovation. Those who initiate change are meant to become the leaders of tomorrow as they tend to unlock better opportunities for themselves. Our community seeks profiles of such nature; African innovators who will continuously look to push the boundaries of what is possible.
To create impact, one needs to find and commit time to the most important problems to solve. We want all our leaders to be prudent as they wander in their quest for meaningful work. That is why we will support our community in improving its ability to make the right decisions and be impactful every step of the way.
