all Australia needed was Africans playing for the team 😭

How I lost $250,000 in funding for my startup. Watch till the end and learn from my mistake.

Abandoned my startup to do this. Let's go!

One thing working in fintech teaches you very quickly: A transaction isn’t successful because your API says so.

Unpopular opinion: Keep your income, Build your startup. Do both until the business can pay you. One of the biggest mistakes aspiring founders make is abandoning their source of income too early. Your startup needs time, capital, and patience to grow. What’s your take?

Today, I officially received my PhD degree award! What a journey it has been, filled with challenges, growth, resilience, sleepless nights, research, prayers, and unwavering support from family, best supervisors, friends, and everyone who believed in me. I am grateful to God for strength and grace throughout this journey. To anyone pursuing a dream: keep going, even when the road feels long. Today I proudly say I did it!

I’m open to collaborating with founders who are building meaningful solutions and looking for creative, thoughtful, result-driven, business-minded partners to join their team. If you need a co-founder, strategic partner, or someone willing to contribute for equity, I’d love to connect and explore how we can build something impactful together.

That's the reason why i rate fintech apps more than any other traditional banks. These traditional banks are failing to keep up.

Providus has a separate app for transferring money and another one for managing your cards. 😂😂😂 UBA also has at least 2 apps that do exactly the same thing. Neither is good. WTF are their engineers doing???? Traditional banks need to do better.

Is it just me or are the prices of domestic flights in Australia getting absurd?

As founders, we like to interact with an industry the way we wish it would work and not the way it currently does. (Maybe that’s why we like to “disrupt”)😒 For instance, you’re trying to raise from VCs, you don’t have undeniable metrics (read $50k MRR, growing 10% MoM), you don’t have Ex FAANG on your bio, even internship, you’ve not sold a startup even if it’s all stocks, you’re not an AI engineer, you don’t live in SF, your Dad’s name is not recognisable and you don’t want to build a personal brand? 🤣🤣 You have not “visibly” demonstrated anywhere that you’re exceptional and can get things done but you want the investor to invest in you cos you sent a cold email with a nice pitch deck? It’s giving “trust me, I no go lie for you”. The industry is designed for signals and momentum. Stop interacting with it the way you wish it was about the novelty of your ideas and start leaning on your undue advantage. I hope this helps that founder still second guessing if they need a personal brand. ❤️

Don’t work with people who don’t have any sense of urgency.
