Let's be honest: I hate pulling teeth. As a dentist, I am meant to be saving teeth, but to the contrary, every day in Mombasa, a patient walks in, in pain as a Dental Emergency with an already made treatment plan from home, "Remove it." Why? I can't afford to save the tooth.

Spent last weekend as a judge for @_HERDAO  pre-demo day before their PL Genesis hackathon submissions by @protocollabs. Did this alongside @robertocalous and ngl I saw some serious shipping going on. These 4 novel products however stood out for me.  Remlo by @winzsn. An instant global payroll that settles in 0.4 seconds on Tempo. Think Deel but actually fast. No more 2-5 day cross-border payments, just sub-second settlement with embedded wallets and compliance built in. @techychisom is building ProofPay. An escrow infrastructure for freelancers and gig workers, currently at smart contract stage.  VitaBridge by Dr Said is splendid because they are providing affordable health insurance for Nigerians with access to 1,000+ hospitals and 24/7 telemedicine.  menaDAO by @drpapi001 is focused on digitizing dental healthcare for Kenyans. Using a MENA-focused builder community using DAO structure for real-world crypto adoption beyond speculation. Proposals, shared treasury, open dialogue.  I must comment that these founders deeply understand their markets. I wish I could steal them all to the @basedwestafrica ecosystem lol. Shoutout to the @Web3Unilorin guys for putting this together. Thank you to the incredible @techie_faozi Wishing all teams luck on the main day.

Every day in Kenya, I extract teeth that could have been saved because patients can't afford a 3500KES filling. Legacy insurance ignores the 93% of our workforce in the informal sector. On #WorldOralHealthDay, we officially launched the solution: @menodao_org . (1/3) 🧵👇
