Slum tech millionaires

Had some interesting ideas with Octopizzo about teaching Kiberans to launch tech businesses. Africans watch Kenyans and raising the profile of a few early successes could trigger a tipping point. P2p ed could enable a wave. Particularly self-propagating ed like village accelerator.
