Young Africans care about work because work is now the clearest route to mobility.


In this episode of Limitless Africa, Claude Grunitzky explores how American tech platforms are transforming opportunity across the continent through remote work, AI upskilling, and online networking.


Nicola Lyons explains how Andela evolved from a Lagos founded fellowship into an AI native data and services company supporting global enterprises. Koffi Kelvin, an engineer trained through Andela, describes how remote work makes it possible to contribute to companies like GitHub from Nairobi while earning above local market rates. Preston Ideh argues that Africa must not become only a consumer of AI tools and should move earlier in the value chain by building talent and products. Temi Badru closes with practical LinkedIn advice: share value, connect like a human, and stay consistent.
