Appfrica Incubator
From Appfrica Wiki
Appfrica Labs is an incubator modeled after Paul Graham's Y Combinator. We work with young entrepreneurs and computer programmers and help them in several ways. By offering facilities with internet connections and computers, they are able to work on their projects at any time, for any period of time. We allow them to shadow established professionals as a way of allowing them to gain invaluable professional experience while also building up their resumes and earning money. Students also learn new techniques in programing, business etiquette and get financial advice as it relates to 'starting-up' a company.
