where is this cult of ycombinator in africa? I consult in things related to the ISP and telecom industry in developing nations, and there's nothing ycombinator-like whatsoever in any of the African ISPs I've worked with. It's a very rapidly growing market with increasing builds of terrestrial fiber, new submarine cables along both the west and east coasts of africa, new numbers of people who can buy their first $65 Android phone with an LTE radio in it... I'd wager good money that if you picked a dozen random AFRINIC members and talked to their neteng people most if not all of them would have never even heard of ycombinator. Maybe if the context is in some new software-as-a-service startup, sure...
