I'm carrying thesame drive and dedication into the new year, but with a fresh focus on new ideas, superb concepts, and deeper design explorations. ✨ Looking forward to everything 2026 has in store. Let’s go!🎨🚀 🗂️→…chiemarvellproductdesigner.super.site ☎️→cal.com/marvell-etchie

Nothing is more amusing than your mother using your WhatsApp chat as her personal notes app. 😂 Talmabout: 1. Send money to mummy Agnes 2. Buy fuel Elite behaviour, I tell you. 💀😭

@Frapisky Let’s go. 🔥

Gradually coming back…

@kossy_daniel Sigh.

The tech industry: "Build projects." You build projects. "Get experience." You get experience. "Contribute to open source." You contribute to open source. "Sorry, we're looking for someone with more experience." At some point, you start wondering whether the problem is your qualifications or the market itself.

Lily in her villain arc?! Oh, I absolutely see it 😍💅🏼🔥

Oof!🔥 And she did it unbothered 💅🏼

Oh well, Duolingo starting a webtoon “Duo Leveling” was not on my 2026 bingo list. 🦉✨ Love Lily still though 💅🏼💜

@abdul_uxui Brother! 😂😂

Crazy how I've been unable to design since reading this tweet yesterday 🥲

You should have things you don't do, places you don't go to, substances you don't take, words you don't say By all means, have Principles and Standards.

@osehfavvy Photoshop and Corel draw. Amazing times 😂

How many of us did printing work as designers starting out?

Una no dey like when person dey tell una the truth. That’s why they keep deceiving you people with “get into tech and make $10,000 in 1 month” schemes.

@zakariyahamirat Amen. 🤲🏼 Thanks dear 🫂

@EtchieMarvel Ohhhh….. God will pave way soon hunnie🤲🏾😊

My current state of mind. 🥺

There are dozens of accelerators, grant programs, and startup funds actively looking for founders right now. Here are 5 worth applying to before the end of June: 1. Techstars Anywhere • Fully remote • Any industry • Any country • No relocation required • Funding: $220,000 • Deadline: June 10 2. Hello Alice x Allstate Main Street Grants • 2-week Boost Camp • 100 founders selected • $20,000 grant per founder • Deadline: June 23 3. Google for Startups Accelerator • 10-week program • AI for Energy startups • Pre-seed to Series A • No equity taken • Deadline: June 30 4. The Bridge Fall 2026 • For non-US founders • San Francisco residency • Pre-idea to early-stage • Up to $250,000 first check • Backed by Entrepreneur First • Deadline: June 28 5. mHUB Chicago Compute-Energy Nexus • AI + Energy Hardware • $200,000 investment for 6.5% • Backed by Equinix, HPE, and Salesforce • Deadline: July 13 One lesson I’ve learned after more than a decade building startups: Most founders overestimate how ready they need to be before applying. The best opportunities often go to people who apply before they feel ready. If you’re building something interesting, submit the application. Let investors, accelerators, and customers tell you “no.” Don’t do it for them. PS: PS: I’m hosting a free webinar for Africans in the US interested in starting a company.
