This story is very heartbreaking and underscores the need for asking questions as founders. For the benefit of all African founders here on X, we are going to give a very short summary of what a seed round process looks like if you are raising $100k and above.

We can’t wait for our Founders MAC 3.0 happening this Saturday. See you there.

On Saturday, I was at Meet and Chat, an event organized by @builderscabal and hosted by @BlackcrestLP at @Cafeonenig, Yaba. It was a great opportunity for Founders and Operators in the Nigerian Tech Ecosystem to meet, network, and collaborate. It featured board games, networking sessions, a Quiz, a Panel Session, and refreshments ( 🥞 🍸 ). It was a great opportunity to see members of the Builders Cabal in real life after months of virtual conversations, learning, and partnerships. I encourage Founders to take time from their tight schedule to network and share ideas with other Builders and Operators. Thanks also to @theflutterwave for sponsoring the event.

Thanks a lot for sharing. It was such a fun event. We are glad you could make it.

@plutomaniapopi This is a classic case of euphoria. I hope creators reading this learn from his mistakes. A smart artists always involves lawyers from the beginning. You want to ensure you don’t sign a bad contract. That’s why @BlackcrestLP exists, to help people like him avoid trouble.

@Obasifrancis @TechTalesHQ They said they are fixing it.

Don’t let anyone scam you. Involve a lawyer. It would have cost N300k at most for a competent legal team to have advised them against sending that money to the investor to validate the investment. A credible investor never requests money to validate investments in startups.

A demo link to your product. A summary of your traction. Step 2 Follow up. The investors (real investors) are very busy. They get pitched a lot by different founders and may not always remember that they picked interest.
