In 2015, I asked my son Joel where I should volunteer on my Intel sabbatical since he had recently volunteered in eight countries. He said to join him in East Africa since they were the most teachable and fastest changing. Within days, I asked my driver how could “Africa move to Factory and eCommerce in one generation for 100 times wealth”? I answered with microloans and training, and ACAID was born. The next 7 years I got one vacation a year and spent those 3 weeks in East Africa. In 2021, I retired to spend full time with ACAID and four months a year in Africa, where I still ask every entrepreneur “how can your business be 100 times bigger”?

“Africa is the next China. It’s the youngest, fastest learning and adoption for phones, mobile pay, eCommerce, factory and disruptive entrepreneurs.”
