Community Leadership

Build the network with us.

Do you bring together founders, investors, operators or influential communities? Silicon Xchange Ambassadors help connect their communities across Africa and Silicon Valley.

Selected ambassadors receive a one-year appointment, complimentary Pro membership, ambassador recognition and a personal invitation code offering their network 20% off the first year of Pro or Plus.

A trusted network, not an open directory.

Every Silicon Xchange member completes a registration review before their profile is activated.

We review core identity and professional information, including your name, role, company or fund, LinkedIn profile, and relevant company or professional links.

This helps us keep the network credible, relevant, and high-signal.

For opportunities that require deeper diligence, including investor introductions, partner referrals, showcases, or delegations, Silicon Xchange may conduct additional review.

A reviewed member profile does not mean Silicon Xchange has independently audited or endorsed every claim made by a member.

Which membership is right for me?

Community

Choose Community if you want to be part of the network, receive relevant opportunities, and be considered when something matches your profile.

Pro

Choose Pro if you also want to discover and connect with people across the network yourself.

Plus

Choose Plus if you have a specific goal and want Silicon Xchange actively helping identify the right people, opportunities, and introductions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

How is Founding 100 membership different from Community, Pro, or Plus?

Founding 100 is a limited, invite-only cohort of 100 members. It includes all Plus benefits for the first year at no cost, followed by a lifetime 25% discount on annual Plus renewals. It isn't a tier you can apply for directly — applicants not selected are offered a recommended tier based on their profile.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my membership later?

Yes. You can move between Community, Pro, and Plus at any time from your membership settings. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle.

Is my profile visible to other members at every tier?

No. Community members have a private, reviewed profile used for matching opportunities, but do not appear in the searchable member directory. Pro and Plus members have a searchable profile visible to other members.

What happens after I submit my application?

Every application, at every tier, goes through a registration review before the profile is activated. We review core identity and professional information such as your name, role, company or fund, and LinkedIn profile to keep the network credible and high-signal.

Do partner discounts and member perks differ by tier?

Yes. Pro and Plus members get access to partner offers and member savings; Plus members receive enhanced access to select partner benefits in addition to the standard Pro offers.

Membership is curated.

Silicon Xchange is built for people actively building, investing, and operating across the Africa–Silicon Valley corridor.

Membership applications are reviewed before activation to help protect the quality and trust of the network.
