VentureBeat: What did you think about when you were finishing up and preparing to come back? What made you decide to get back to the U.S.?
Davis: One of the main reasons I left is because I got sick. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. But that was my fault. I swam in a lake and ended up getting a parasite. I came back and finally got over it. I was going between Tennessee and California. I wanted to go back because I started a little venture firm in a refugee camp, Kakuma Ventures. We’re still working on it, and we’re doing well. We just got some grants. We’re building Wi-Fi networks in refugee camps.
I want to do more. But unless you’re independently wealthy or otherwise have a lot of resources, it’s hard to make big moves. You don’t have to be. I just planted a small seed to get going. The peak of the book is my time in the refugee camp. We started it while we were there, and we kept going. We got into the Miller Center program for entrepreneurship in Santa Clara. We graduated from there and we just raised our first $20,000. Now we’re trying to raise $100,000 to build out the Wi-Fi platform in all of Kakuma. We need about that much to finish it.
I’m still doing that. My plan was to go back out last year, but then all this stuff started happening and obviously I’m not traveling. I went back to the Valley and started looking at jobs, and honestly I just couldn’t get excited about anything, selling stuff. I went back to spend time with my family here and start a new career writing books. I’ll write a second book about business development, and then I’m working on a well-being project. Maybe I’ll do my own thing. We’ll see.
