One model you should consider is pairing up the poor (but with insight and vision on the issues at hand) with tech talent from around the world. Tech talent can be donated time either remotely or on-site as part of the founding teams. At least in the near term, you can definitely speed up your development cycle and time it takes for your accelerator to get results.

This is a great idea! Remote techies could get projects off the ground faster, and then act as technical mentors to enable the local founders to progress faster.

I'd do it. (Am already, to an extent).

Thanks! How can I learn more about what you're doing?
