Who is going to help me tell my new followers that I primarily tweet about my kid? Okay, there’s a sprinkle of tech and good vibes here but, it’s mostly my boy.

Nobody prepares you for the emotional side of building. It’s not just strategy, ops and growth. It’s usually people, tough calls, mistakes and carrying things you can’t even explain. But you learn, you grow and you keep going anyway.

You have no experience. You’ve never started a company. You’ve never had a full time job. Nike is going to kill you. You’re a kid. You don’t have technical skills. You shouldn’t build hardware. Apple is going to kill you. You can’t build hardware. You can’t measure heart rate non-invasively. Athletes don’t care about recovery. Under Armour is going to kill you. It won’t be accurate. You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription. You can’t build a brand. You can’t do consumer in Boston. Your valuation is too high. You shouldn’t make accessories. You shouldn’t make apparel. Lululemon is going to kill you. You can’t predict Covid. Stay in your niche. You are going to run out of money. You can’t build a health platform. Amazon is going to kill you. You can’t measure blood pressure. You can’t get medical approvals. The market is too small. You don’t understand AI. The market is too competitive. It won’t work internationally. The supply chain is too complicated. You can’t build an AI. You can’t raise enough money. It’s too competitive. Healthcare isn’t going to want it. … Just keep going ✌️

Genius.

Nigerian fintechs are all fighting the same fraud patterns independently, duplicating effort, and losing. The fraudsters share playbooks openly; the defenders don’t. Sad.

Hardware folks get in here. Most medical/ hardware device security reviews start in the cloud. The real attack surface starts somewhere else. runsewe-seun.medium.com/the-first-atta…

WHAT DO YOU MEAN CHATGPT RECOMMENDED US AS A SOLUTION?!

10 years of building @theflutterwave, and our focus remains simple: with one API, make it easy for enterprise merchants across Africa to accept the payment methods native to their customers. 🌍 Now, we are adding a new layer to this interoperability. As I shared with @semafor in Davos, the next five years will see stablecoins embedded within finance, working side by side with fiat. That’s the future of cross-border payments we are building! ▶️ Watch the full conversation: youtu.be/od8JccKaC7w Credit: Semafor/Firebird Films
