Today, we had the pleasure of hosting representatives from the Small Scale Women Farmers Organisation in Nigeria (@swofon) Secretariat as part of our ongoing collaboration to strengthen data-driven advocacy for smallholder women farmers across Nigeria. Our discussions built on a shared objective which is to generate credible, disaggregated evidence that captures the demographic, socio-economic, gender, and farming realities of women farmers at the sub-national level. This evidence is critical, not just as data points, but as policy reference tools for policy advocacy and decision-making process by government actors, SWOFON and other stakeholders. In the coming weeks, our joint teams will be on the ground across states, engaging directly with smallholder women farmers to document their lived experiences, constraints, and opportunities for policy intervention We remain grateful to the International Budget Partnership (@OpenBudgets) for their continued support in advancing this important work. At its core, this collaboration is about more than data, it is about visibility, inclusion, and ensuring that the realities of women farmers are reflected in the policies that shape their lives.

Some people think "leadership" is meetings, graduating from building. True leadership in every organization from 2026 on out *is* building, and it won't be anything other than that into the future. Either you're building or you're leting your org die slowly. Your choice

I came back to code because AI made it possible for me to build at a level I couldn't before. I'm not coding despite being CEO of YC. I'm coding because this is the most important technological shift since the internet and I'd be an idiot to experience it from the bleachers. I'm 45, running the most important startup institution in the world, and I can ship production software at 2am. That's not a distraction from the job. That is the job understood correctly.
