From: To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Start-up in Nigeria, Date: Mon, 07 May 2018 13:11:45 +0000 Dear Jeffrey, I hope that this email finds you well. I am sorry to be bothering you with yet another email. I spoke with Barbro yesterday; she recommended me to reach out to you. I continue to receive very, very positive feedback from VC firms concerning TalentUp Africa; but no firm will invest before I have conducted a `pilot run'. Of course, it is at this stage impossible to evaluate the value of the venture. If I can attract or lend money to carry out a pilot, I have two VC firms focusing specifically on Sub Sharan Africa that are willing to guide this process, I have mentorship from influential and well connected individuals, and a passionate team willing to carry out a pilot... However, finding the initial amount is hard... May I thus very kindly ask — do you know anyone who would be interested in business opportunities in Africa, or, potentially, would want to help address some of Africa's educational challenges? Andela's story is an interesting case (they have raised USD 80 million in 3 years); they work to educate Africa's top engineers. If you are in NY this week, and would be interested/ have the time to meet to discuss further, it would be a pleasure. As always, if I can do anything for you - please let me know. I hope that you do not mind that I am reaching out again.... On Thu, Apr 19, 2018 at 4:17 PM, Dear Jeffrey, > wrote: I hope that this email finds you well.

The problems embedded in higher-education in Africa (access, quality, relevance, and frequent break) are indeed real. The challenge that I face is to prove to investorsNC firms that TalentUp Africa's solutions to solve these problems are also real, impactful, and profitable. I have tried to raise USD 570 000, but faced
