@fee - I don’t think so too. However, I wasn’t suggesting that African startups should be built so they could be bought by big companies. The idea is to encourage African web entrepreneurs to develop standard startups that can get the world’s attention and possibly compete with the world’s best.

Do you think it is wise for a startup to have as “primary” objective to be bought by a bigger company ? I don’t think so. Startups should be built to last. They should learn to do the hard work of transforming the startup into a business.
