**Move Capital. Move Talent. Move Africa.** Africa is the youngest continent on earth. By 2050, 1 in 5 people globally will be African. Yet African startups still receive less than 1% of global VC funding. What is the real problem? Is it time to tap into the estimated $95–100 billion USD in remittances sent by the diaspora? This Africa Day, in partnership with the Westerwelle Foundation, which has just published The German–Africa Investment Report, we will go deep into the gaps to explore : 📈 How Africa’s startup ecosystem is growing 🌍 Which New markets are rising, and how to pay attention to them 💡 Which segments pose the greatest returns outside of FinTech 🤝 How to take the best next step as an investor, proven by research. The event welcomes: Founders, Investors, Operators, the diaspora, and Institutional partners looking to make their moves into the African Market with intention. To our network members and partners who have been looking to make the move from remittances → to investment, from fragmented effort → to ecosystem building. This event is for you. Culminating from this event will be our delegation trip to #Nigeria and #Ghana in September in Collaboration with GITEX Nigeria and South Africa, and Namibia in November. Move Africa. #AfricaDay #AfricaRising #AfricanDiaspora #InvestInAfrica #AfricanInnovation #investment #funding # VC #Angelinvesting #African Excellence #Excellence #Leadership #FutureOfAfricaEvening Programme **SCHEDULE** 18:30 Arrival Networking reception Guests arrive. No job titles on badges — just names and country of origin. The room begins to know itself before the panel starts. 19:00 Opening Welcome & the diagnosis — 10 mins The host frames the evening in plain language. Not a speech — a provocation. Four sentences stating the diagnosis. Then the panel takes the stage. 19:10 Panel · 50 mins The conversation — moderated, flowing, unscripted Four panellists. One moderator. The conversation moves through the diagnosis naturally — from the wealth gap, to the talent drain, to the trust deficit, to the intention trap. No fixed questions. The moderator's job is to keep the room honest and the conversation moving toward one inevitable question: so what do we do about it tonight? 20:00 Panel · Open floor The room joins the conversation — 20 mins Not a Q&A. The moderator selects three or four people in the room — pre-identified — to add their perspective. Brief, pointed contributions that deepen the diagnosis rather than repeat it. The panel responds. The room feels heard. 20:20 Break Drinks — 20 mins The panel comes off stage and into the room. Guests speak directly with panellists. The conversation continues informally — which means it deepens.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern Central Ohio Chapter Meeting IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal.

Here’s what you’ll learn: * Where they’re finding private lenders today * How they start conversations that lead to funding * What makes lenders and partners say YES * How they structure deals to be fundable * The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money * How to build repeat funding relationships **Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):** **Having Trouble Finding Tenants?
