Over four years ago i left my Job at Uber in London with the mission of living across Africa and building an African business our mission was to solve the problem of the lack of data on the continent we raised over $1M dollars to get this done which is definitely not enough! We hired over 50 people across 4 different markets 🇬🇭🇳🇬🇰🇪🇿🇦
Proud to say we have now been acquired. Here are a few thoughts
Building a business is not easy Building a business on the continent is even harder!
Raising capital does not create the opportunity- there needs to be a product people want to buy!
If you’re building on the continent look wide and deep what product can everyone buy, even those at the bottom tier!
1. Understand if your business is in an industry where companies are actually being bought. Is there activity? ( if your building to sell)
2. Understand the company that is buying you? Will you still have your freedom to build.
3. Nothing is new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9) Share what you’re building, get guidance and understand the context.

2025 Dump- Proverbs 18:21
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Two major life moments happened 2025.Marriage and Selling my Company.
The power of the tongue and prayer is powerful, years before selling I used to pray and just speak someone will acquire my company, even at point where we ran out of capital had to let go of 80% of our employees faith still prevailed. I spoke out “I need to meet my best-friend before a certain time”. The power of my tongue delivered. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matthew 21:22
