Africa Internet Group - you have probably heard of Rocket Internet - the guys who take a functioning product and copy it in different countries around the world, mostly emerging economies. The Africa Internet Group is the group (partly owned by Rocket Internet) which do exactly that in Africa.
Especially countries like Nigeria are advancing rapidly when it comes to the internet, and it is no surprise that many entrepreneurs see huge business opportunities there.
The Africa Internet Group has its headquarters in Paris, but you should probably be open to relocate, as you might be requested to help teams on-site. Definitely a very exciting company though, if you're looking for adventure, look no further!

Anyone with the app walking past that location can then see your story. It's definitely a beautiful idea, and it will be very interesting to see how the app develops.
