If you are trying to incorporate your startup in the USA, you don’t need to go through any lawyer or consultant, you can simply do this using Stripe atlas @atlas and it costs just $500, you can pay this using USDC
This gets you
1. Incorporation in Delaware USA
2. EIN for tax
3. Stripe account to receive global payments
4. Easy access to open a USA bank account with banks like Brex @brex
Other things you would need to pay for asides the $500 are for a virtual USA address and Virtual USA phone number.

I am going to quote this for reach - cold emails and LinkedIn. Send that email.
Founders, how do I find angel investors as a first-time founder with no fundraising experience?

This only applies to girls who like “real dates” (which to you people means going to eat food you normally can’t afford).
To me, car dates are real dates (I have mine btw so we can choose between mine or his) or we can race on a free express way😆🥰😋. Go sports mode for sports mode😈.
My house is my temple, I don’t run from it. Staying home with my man is stress relief (but I understand a lot of you live in cubes ergo needing to “go out”).
All this talk but the financing of the “fun” will be from the man only😂😂🤌🏼😭.

once you start your relationship with house visits, you will never experience real dates or fun outings

I've always said founders shouldn't only think equity when capitalising their business.
Well, debt funding has now overtaken equity in Africa — so I hope more people are paying attention.
Tomorrow, I'll be on the @thecondia Space talking about how to actually leverage debt financing.
Joining me is @amandaetuk of Cascador — a firm that deployed $4M to startups last year.

LinkedIn’s most underrated growth hack is not content. It’s job posts.
Every “Easy Apply” role is a funnel: applicants → page visits → followers.

Congrats, chief. I’ve picked up a lot just watching how you handle growth and management here.

Having an H factor while typing is actually insane.
It is always the people with 7 followers and no post that buy your products on IG 😅
So high opening

Panarotti has the best Pizza in Nigeria. It’s so delicious, my God!!!

In a world full of women who want materialistic things, make sure you’re first in line….. There’s nothing cute about struggling.
As a man, I would understand if you left me cos I couldn’t take care of you. 😭

Solid guy with solid skills. Happy birthday, Chief.
Happy birthday, Cyril, our CTO.
Your grit, skill, and leadership show in how you move and how you build. You bring serious value to the team and it does not go unnoticed.
Wishing you bigger wins, sharp execution, good health, and a year that compounds in every direction.
Our Co-founder and CTO is a year older today!🥳
Ever wonder what drives perfection on the backend of things at Myaza? It's Cyril's mind. His impact is strongly felt across all teams.
Here's to another year of pushing limits and achieving greatness. Happy birthday, Cyril! 💜

lol. I am in a WhatsApp group where founders in Nigeria with decades of experience in e-commerce were punching air .
They swear they’ve pitched to these similar investors and couldn’t get a meeting. And when they did they were met with “how is this different from Jumia” and “this market is saturated”.
I guess it was less about the market and more about “them”..

This week, @SwoopAppNG, a food delivery app with super-app ambitions, announced a $7.3M seed round.
It's expanding from Eswatini — where it claims to have become the country's largest e-commerce platform with 22k users (~2% of the country's population) — to Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with an estimated population of ~220M.
The company's led by a 19-year-old Berkeley dropout and Thiel Fellow from Greenwich, Connecticut.
And notably, all investors in the round are Silicon Valley-based — except South Africa's Base Capital.
Swoop's strategy: low restaurant commissions (for now), flat 7% "handling fee," and letting riders keep 100% of delivery fees — forcing @Chowdeck and other incumbents to compete or lose their supply side.
It's drawing premature comparisons to @WaveSenegal's disruption of mobile money in Francophone Africa and @OPay_NG's early blitzscaling across verticals before the pivot to payments.
But perhaps the precedent to keep top of mind is Jumia Food — which exited food delivery in Nigeria & other markets, citing competitive dynamics that were "irrational" and expected to stay that way.
"There will always be someone new coming into play." — @Jumia_Group CEO Francis Dufay (December 2023)

Saves you money, time and constant shalaye. You can talk all you want with lovable and see in real time if what you thought even made sense to you and the tool before any real line of code is written.
When I move from this to actually coding? It’s over for everyone.🤣

Founders should pin this. Use this formula before starting any serious project.
It can save you from building something nobody wants.

I’m a better founder with Claude and Lovable.
I currently move ideas to prototype to PRD and can validate my assumptions before I bring in Engineers.
Sweet.

I had the visa, the housing, the European salary. I said no. Stayed in Lagos. Built Myaza. They said Africa can't produce world-class payment infrastructure, we're about to prove otherwise.

He had two exit offers in Europe. He chose Lagos instead.
Now, his startup has processed ₦3B in cross-border payments, with zero ad spend, and a bold goal ahead.

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. ❤️
