#GovernmentMustSaveA2SV It’s frustrating that the Ethiopian government isn’t supporting A2SV, while billions are spent on 43 universities—many of which barely exist. No Ethiopian university has ever sent a student to Silicon Valley on its own. A2SV has. Repeatedly. Right now, A2SV is doing more for tech talent in Ethiopia than all 43 universities combined. It deserves serious support. #supporta2sv A2SV (Africa to Silicon Valley), founded by Emre Varol, has already spent over $660,000—without government support—to train and launch the careers of dozens of brilliant Ethiopian developers. These students now work at Google, Amazon, Meta, Palantir, Databricks and other global tech giants. Now, Emre is in talks to move A2SV’s HQ to Rwanda, where they see the value. He has publicly said that any future funding will not be invested in Ethiopia unless our government or wealthy Ethiopian allies step up and support.
