if you lead or at the forefront of building anything, clarity solves 50% of the headache for the people who work "with" you....they may not tap into a "vision" that is not clear regardless of your good intentions

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)

Don’t race to match big companies pushing “no fees.” They have the treasury to absorb it. Discounts are fine, but find your niche and charge for what you offer. Customers who only stay because it’s free will leave the moment anyone else is also free.

Gap | Suby
Gap | Suby@gaspardlezin·
I sent $1,000 from New York to Lagos through 8 payment rails. The best delivered ₦1,400,000. The worst delivered ₦1,323,000. That ₦77,000 gap = one month of groceries for a family in Lagos. Yesterday's rail comparison got sharp feedback. The strongest critique: "Try this on a low-liquidity corridor. I bet stablecoins don't look the same." Fair. So I redid the experiment on the hardest corridor I could find: Nigeria. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: The Naira isn't one currency. It's two. → The official CBN rate: ₦1,345 per USD. Banks, SWIFT, Wise, Western Union must use it. → The parallel market rate: ₦1,400 per USD. It's where real dollar supply meets real demand. That 4% gap isn't a fee. It's the government pricing the naira higher than anyone is willing to pay for it. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 $𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗴𝗼𝘀: 🥇 USDT P2P: ₦1,400,000 (30 sec, $0.01) 🥈 Yellow Card: ₦1,393,000 (2 min) 🥉 Bitcoin: ₦1,393,000 (~10 min) 4️⃣ Sendwave (International Remittance): ₦1,372,000 (15 min) 5️⃣ Wise: ₦1,344,000 (CBN rate) 6️⃣ Swift: ₦1,344,000 (3-7 days, $50 fee) 7️⃣ Western Union: ₦1,330,000 8️⃣ PayPal Xoom: ₦1,323,000 (5.5% hidden spread) 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁: That USDT P2P rate only exists because someone, somewhere, holds naira and wants dollars. The P2P desk IS the off-ramp. It's real infrastructure, with real liquidity risk. But here's what they couldn't see on the Paris–NY corridor: In a dual-rate economy, stablecoins aren't just faster. They give you access to a different price. The real price. Nigeria has the world's 2nd-largest P2P crypto volume. Not speculation. Access to the actual dollar rate, without flying to Lagos with a suitcase. The next decade's fintech question isn't "will stablecoins replace SWIFT?" It's "what happens when 2 billion people in dual-rate economies realize they can bypass the official channel?" ₦77,000 on $1,000 tells me the question is worth asking. PS: I'm the founder of @subyhq and I weekly posts on payments, stablecoins, and building across borders. Follow for more.

@EnjoymentMamaa That’s what I told someone that my job is to think about how to make the life of 10k+ people better. And if I screw up the effects are massive but if they do not much would happen ! At senior roles it’s about the quality of decision making that is critical

The greatest trait you can acquire is to work with tremendous intensity on things that matter to you, and more importantly, be strangely unbothered when those things don't work out.

Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone. No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum. Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too. Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund. It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital. And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee. — Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital. Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring. But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line. This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in. Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition. But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital. USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages. It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere. There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction. USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid. Get access here: usvc.com
