12 potential and current Sandbox members joined us for our inaugural dinner at San Francisco’s Bissap Baobab restaurant, which features the cuisine of Senegal. Over couscous, kebabs, and ginger juice, dinner guests shared their startup experiences from a host of diverse backgrounds. Participants present were from Germany, Mexico, Russia, Switzerland, and the United States.
Some concepts and companies featured:
