African Technology Founders in Europe Network
A Home For African Tech Founders Building In Europe
ATFEN connects founders of African heritage who are building technology companies across Europe. Meet peers, share what works, and open doors for each other.
Why ATFEN Exists
Building a technology company is hard - very hard. The most important ingredient? Meeting the right people at the right time. Building in a new country, without a network, is effectively impossible. We aim to help alleviate the burden for those wanting to try anyway. For those who’ve succeeded already? Well, we aim to help you grow much more.
Our ambition is for ATFEN to become a springboard for great technology founders of African descent in Europe.
Built Around Founders
- Peer Circles – we meet virtually and discuss how business is going and how we can help each other.
- Meetups & Events – occasional in-person gatherings.
- Warm Introductions – members introduce each other to other founders, customers, investors, advisors and talent.
- Talent Intake Pitch Sessions – we guide others looking to found successful technology businesses in Europe.
