"I recently read Parmy Olson’s interview with Yuri Milner on Forbes’s recent Billionaires issue... But as I read the article, I could not help but ask myself the pertinent yet habitually unanswered question: What about Africa?"
Why would you ask "What about Africa?" I don't get it. This article is so generic. Yes, you need a lot of capital and a large, advanced market, and you don't have that in Africa. You also don't have it in about a 100 other places.
Much more advanced countries in Europe can't do it, why would you ask "What about Africa?"
