Growing up as an adopted Korean boy in the cold climes of Norway, Jorn Lyseggen would have had no idea that one day he would be spearheading a technology renaissance in the sweltering heat of a West African state. But having created the successful $100m-in-revenue Meltwater SAAS company, which has made a name for itself in social analytics, he realised that it would be for nothing if he didn't "give something back". And so the Meltwater Entreprenerial School of Technology in Ghana was born. Founded in February 2008 in Ghana's capital city of Accra, MEST, as it's known, started out with modest aims: to take the brightest and most willing minds they could find, and put them through a rigorous two year training programme to become tech entrepreneurs. Indeed, MEST pre-dates Y Combinator's most recent overture to invest in people and ideas even before they have a startup idea.jason wu jason wu the patriot nick diaz vs carlos condit hall of fame occupy dc ufc 143 fight card
