Are Their Venture Capitalist Or Investors In Nigeria? by shegzhkn: 10:12am On Sep 09, 2017
one thing i don't wanna believe is that the white are more intelligent than the black especially Nigerian and it is not uncommon to see young successful people among them talking of people like Evan spiegel, Larry page, Palmer luckey, Sergey brin and Mark Zuckerberg. but let Ponder about this - had it been they were Nigerian I am quite sure they will never achieve such feat, why? Mark Zuckerberg got his first investment of 500k(USD) from Peter Thiel of an idea that is not completely clear and later got 12.7M USD from accel partner less than a year after the seed funding and so on. Larry page and Sergey also got a seed investment of 100k from Andy Bechtolsheim ,then Sequoia and Kleiner Perkins invested $25M about a year later it goes on like that for start up before their exit (acquisition or initial public offering). Now let come back to Nigeria where the only way to know a rich individual is when they pull a state of the auto machine in their drive way and this makes me to think are there even VC's in Nigeria and what i mean is not 50k capitalist or 100k investors.
