Being an entrepreneur is not easy. At times the journey can be very lonely , at times like this you just want to be able to reach out and communicate with someone who has already been there or who may be experiencing the same thing at the same time. Add to that being an entrepreneur in Africa and the emotional load that one must carry can get even heavier.

That's what the Africa & Beyond Entrepreneurship Society is about, providing you with a forum for communicating experiences, trials, and ideas related to entrepreneurship. The experience of connecting with other entrepreneurs can be that much more sweet when we have an opportunity to reach out across regional borders and enlighten one another.

I hope that every entrepreneur that is doing business in Africa or is from an African nation would be able to be a part of this initiative. Likewise, it is my wish that all entrepreneurs doing business outside of Africa, but who are interested in learning more about Africa join this group too. At the very least this could help to open someone's mind about another part of the world, the other alternative is that it could lead to some really rewarding international business!
