Who is Silicon Xchange? Cross-border dealmaking fails without trust. Silicon Xchange exists to build the trust and verification layer for the US–Africa corridor: creating the infrastructure that de-risks transactions, verifies operators, and makes moving capital, talent, and scaling tech across borders seamless.
The Room The bridge between Silicon Valley and Africa is one of the most dynamic tech corridors in the world. But accelerating cross-border deals requires an entire ecosystem working in sync: capital, global talent, legal alignment, financial infrastructure, and policy.
For SF Tech Week, Silicon Xchange is bringing together the key players across the entire cross-border value chain—from the founders and investors to the legal, policy, and infrastructure partners making these deals possible.
Who Belongs in This Room Whether you’re deploying capital, scaling a cross-border startup, shaping policy, or offering the critical legal, financial, or operator infrastructure these companies need to execute, this room is curated for high-signal deals, hires, and strategic partnerships.
-Founders & Tech Leaders: Scaling cross-border companies (including live pitches from top breakout teams). -Investors & LPs: VCs, angels, and institutional capital actively looking for corridor deal flow. -Legal, Immigration & Tax Partners: Firms and platforms handling cross-border corporate structuring, IP, visas, and regulatory compliance. -Enterprise & B2B Partners: Financial infrastructure, banking, SaaS, and GTM tools serving high-growth founders and expanding enterprises. -Diaspora Executives & Talent: Operators, engineers, and GTM leaders lending world-class expertise to scale companies across both markets. -Policy & Ecosystem Leaders: Key decision-makers driving regulatory alignment and diplomatic runway.
