Ask HN: Other African YC applicants or alumni?

[kdboadu]

Hey guys my name is Kofi (from Ghana), working on an app that connects people with similar interests. Just wondering if there are other African YC applicants or YC alumni? If yes curious as to what they've worked on. Just found this: http://techcrunch.com/2015/07/31/saida-tktk/

I'm Wakahiu Njenga from Kenya and the cofounder of behold.ai http://behold.ai. All the best with you YC application!

Thank you Wakahiu! Checked out behold.ai and it looks incredible. Getting feedback from Radiologists is a great move, especially with AI. Good luck :)
