Yinka of Nomba did the Padel thing. Now, Seye of Paid. Founder-led marketing
Founders Breakfast returns. Foluso (F.O) is my former boss and one of the most resilient entrepreneurs I've had the opportunity to work with in Nigeria. In 2016, while working with him, we navigated one of the toughest FX regimes the country had seen. He displayed incredible business acumen and we eventually sold the primary business, YesMobile to Yudala. He then went on to build iFitness into Nigeria's largest fitness brand. Samson (the Oracle), is my current boss and runs Zrosk IML. He's been working out of my office for about a month now and from our everyday engagement, the amount of in-depth analysis, economic analysis and clarity about financial markets i've been privy to is invaluable. On Friday, October 30, I’m bringing them to speak with 50 founders in Ikoyi over breakfast and honest conversations about building in Nigeria and preparing for 2027. Join us. seyebandele.com/founders-bre…

Sometimes I want to engage with stuff on the internet, then I remember that some of you fabricate stories for engagement, and I just refrain. But truly, there are so many real-life dilemmas with no black-and-white solutions that are worth discussing; just wish you ppl were real

The integration with Chowdeck has saved the Danfo run game from plateauing in the near term. But boy! That's quick. How's their Product & Engineering team setup at Chowdeck to prioritise something like this?

Interesting. An unintended consequence of all that AI this and that is making life harder for some people in third-world countries, for whom the smartphone (the internet's entry level device) is now further out of reach.

I'm old enough in Nigerian tech to remember us asking, "Where are the women?" We've looked closely and have spotted so many women who've made it to the top in their field. Today, Shalom is the news. Incidentally, the last three issues of Level Up have been about women like Adora Nwodo, Lade Falobi, and Amaka. If there's a woman early in a male-dominated field, please encourage her not to give up...

“50+ combined years of experience” A very, very useless metric.

AI in the real world.
Most African SMEs will never afford a full finance team. So we built one: 4 new employees Meet @BujetiHQ BRAIN: AI agents on Bujeti that reconcile, negotiate, collect receivables, flag risky payments, detect fraud, and forecast cash, acting on the same ledger the money moves through

Zap used OkHi for something similar. I’ve never passed. But maybe I’m not meant to.
Pocket App’s idea of address verification is me staying at the location for 3 consecutive days?

How long till Docs becomes a blogging CMS?
We are making Markdown files work natively across Google Drive and Docs. You can now preview .md files in Drive, open them in Docs, edit them, comment on them, and collaborate without converting the file into a Google Doc!

As a hustling 19-year-old straight out of Uni, I was very cringe* when it came to trying to get attention from the leaders of our time I was just shooting cold and aired DMs. I knew creating value and being of service was the way to get to powerful people. But I can imagine

But I can imagine how it must have felt for these really busy people. Some of them managed to reply, one-word answers, but a beggar has no choice 😂 For some things we want in our lives, we can't afford to give up on the altar of embarrassment. The only way through is that
