This weekend African entrepreneurs and innovators are converging in Mountain View to talk business.

They’re here for the African Diaspora Investment Symposium — where they partner with Silicon Valley companies to invest in projects that impact Africa. It’s organized by the African Diaspora Network.

Founder Almaz Negash says that despite the current anti-immigrant, anti-Africa political climate, Africans are cutting deals, building businesses, and growing economies.
