HumanIPO is a community of people creating something new in Africa - starting businesses, investing in new technologies or joining startups.

Two facts about building a tech company today, which are especially true for Africa.

1. The cost of starting a tech company is dropping rapidly, leading to a lower barrier for getting a startup off the ground. Major cost is reduced to the people making startups happen, as capital investment and marketing costs are dropping (f.e. Facebook, Twitter).

2. As tech companies scale well, so no more than 2-3 players targeting the same market could ever make money and survive. So, if you don’t grow quickly enough, you'll fail. To maximize your chances of making it you need to build a strong team and a good network of mentors and investors.
