On Monday, February 24, 2026 at 7:00 pm EST, join us live on Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube for a candid conversation at the intersection of tech, startups, and modern relationships in the Ethiopian and Eritrean communities. Our featured guest is a New York based software engineer, Co‑founder and CEO of Jebena, the first and largest dating app built specifically for Ethiopians and Eritreans around the world.
With experience at JPMorgan Chase, Amazon, and Mastercard, he now blends engineering, product, and community building to create tech that actually serves people, not just users.

During this session, we’ll explore:
How Jebena went from an idea to the leading Ethiopian/Eritrean dating platform
Lessons from starting and running a tech startup in our diaspora context
Community building with tech: creating safe, culturally grounded online spaces
Hiring and collaborating with talent in Ethiopia, and building effective, distributed teams

You’ll walk away with practical insights on launching products for niche communities, scaling a mission‑driven startup, and what “modern love” looks like when culture, technology, and entrepreneurship meet.

This event is perfect for:
Aspiring and current founders
Tech professionals and students
Community organizers and ecosystem builders

Anyone curious about love, culture, and innovation in the digital age
Set your reminder on Facebook, LinkedIn, or YouTube, bring your questions, and get ready for an honest, engaging discussion on building both companies and community in our Ethiopian and Eritrean diasporas
