An initiative started in 2019 to bring together Africans building lives, careers, and community across the Bay Area.
SF African Network began in 2019 as an idea I developed during my MBA at the University of San Francisco — a way to bring together the growing number of Africans living, working, and studying across the city.
This is a founding statement, and an open door for anyone who wants to help shape what it becomes.
A place for Africans across the Bay Area to connect — regardless of country, industry, or how long they've been here.
Space for culture, stories, and support that doesn't require explaining yourself first.
Connections to careers, mentorship, and each other's ventures — the kind that come from knowing someone.
"I'm Adeep, originally from Mauritius. SF African Network started as one idea among many during my MBA — this is me finally giving it a real home."
If this resonates — as someone who wants to connect, or someone who wants access to Silicon Valley insights — I'd like to hear from you.
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
— African proverb
Let's build a better future, together.
