It’s easy to forget where you are when standing by the cappuccino machine on the sixth floor of the Telecom House in Kigali, Rwanda.

The Telecom House, as the building is known (most buildings in Rwanda don’t have addresses), is the center of Rwanda’s startup scene. The building houses Carnegie Mellon–Rwanda and kLab, one the country’s best-established incubators. Since the Telecom House lacks an address, visitors may get lucky and find a taxi driver who is familiar with the building, as I did several times. More likely, you’ll need to bring a map and tell taxi drivers to bring you to Kacyiru, the neighborhood where the Telecom House is located along with many government ministries and NGOs. Once you are in the correct neighborhood, you will have to guide the driver to the Telecom House, a gleaming office building that wouldn’t look out of place if it were dropped into a Silicon Valley office park.
