Jeremy Kirshbaum is a researcher, strategist, and entrepreneur who divides his time between West Africa (mostly Nigeria), China, and California partnering with people to build new things, innovate, and explore.
Jeremy has spent ~3 months in Nigeria and China every year for the last 5 years. I focus on white-label hardware innovation and technology innovation, as well as media, software, infrastructure, and supply chain. He spends time hanging out with Nigerian traders in Yiwu, and I spend time with Chinese tech entrepreneurs in Kano. The China-Africa connection is one of the most important and least understood relationships today. Making it happen with value and ownership on both sides is one of his greatest focuses and goals.
