@remitly REMITTLY! THIS IS NOT FAIR! Why can't you find a solution? Funds are stuck & you can't even reverse them instantly? So a customer has to be penalized 🥺

@bchesky I am advised as a founder to stop romanticizing your startup journey so I am going to pretend that I didn't read this 😉

After YC, Airbnb raised $615k at a $3M post-money valuation. We were the highest valuation in our batch.
nikhil@uninsightful
the default yc round this batch (W26) seems like 4m on 40m I remember when I first started in venture exactly three years ago (W23 batch) and most venture ppl were complaining about YC pushing their founders to do 2m on 20m in 3 years the market went from a very begrudging 2 on 20 to a more neutral 4 on 40 interesting to think about where things land 3 years from here

Founders get out there! Leave your country l continent if you have too. I was rejected on #cbcdragonsden twice & now I just got accepted in a reality show+ accelerator program in Europe. I applied from Africa #startup #founder

@tantineishere Thank you for your insightful article. As a recent returnee who has lived in Canada for over 28 years & travelled around the world, I can relate to the point made in the article. There is a coffee shop in Rebero that sells lunch for $15! Obviously ppl pay for it

I got bone to pick 💀 Specifically with the prices of Kigali restaurants, events, brands,.. What is happening here ? Why are we fooling ourselves?
