Welcome to Your Weekly Dose of AI Opportunities!

Greetings,

Thank you for your past interest in volunteering, interning, or potentially working full-time with Crowdfrica.

On August 8, 2023, I launched a weekly internal newsletter titled AI & Fintech (now 'AI Opportunities'). This newsletter aims to share insights into the exciting intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Productivity, Finance, Financial Technology and app development. Hours of dedicated research and learning go into each email sent.

We have decided to extend this newsletter's reach to you and other candidates, previous volunteers, interns, and members of Crowdfrica's network aiming to provide you with valuable insights to benefit from. This is the first for you and, I promise it will get more value-packed as we go.

Feel free to unsubscribe at your convenience.

Let's collectively elevate our skills for the future of AI; it's truly remarkable!
