Meet the community every month
Our community webinar takes place on the first Saturday of each month. It is a place to learn, ask questions, share what you are building, and meet the people behind the names in the group.
New member welcome
Welcome to the winning team.
We are glad you decided to join us. Beyond Africa is a fast-growing community of African professionals, founders, investors, and allies building across Africa and the global diaspora.
How we participate
Bring something useful. Ask when you need help.
Share your work and your wins
Tell us about launches, product updates, research, services, and milestones. Members are encouraged to become one another’s first testers, customers, supporters, and thoughtful critics.
Bring useful information
Share credible technology, African, and diaspora news that could help the community. This includes policy or legal changes that may affect members where they live and work.
Ask for opportunity and support
If you are looking for a role, business opportunity, investment, introduction, or advice, ask the group, speak to someone you trust, or contact an administrator who can raise it discreetly for you.
Use the room for honest counsel
Bring questions that would benefit from experienced perspectives. Members come from many professions and countries, and generous, practical advice is part of how we serve one another.
Create local connection
Members may host professional gatherings, dinners, private launches, and working sessions in their cities. Coordinate responsibly, make the purpose clear, and help people build genuine relationships.
What we protect
Clear boundaries keep the room valuable.
No spam or unrelated promotion
Keep posts useful to the community. Repeated flyers, unrelated events, chain messages, and disruptive content may be removed by an administrator.
No unsolicited romantic or inappropriate messages
Private messages must have a clear professional, community, or support purpose. Harassment and unwanted advances can lead to immediate removal.
No insults or personal attacks
Disagreement is welcome; disrespect is not. Address the idea, protect people’s dignity, and ask an administrator to mediate when a conversation becomes difficult.
No political campaigning
Policy information that materially affects members may be discussed. Campaigning for parties or candidates, provoking political conflict, and pressuring other members are not permitted.
No religious pressure
Members have different beliefs and the same right to belong. Do not proselytize, disparage another person’s faith, or turn community spaces into religious debates.
“We are a community of love, ambition, and mutual support. Participate without fear or shyness, respect every person equally, and help us build the kind of professional network you would be proud to recommend to someone else.”
