2 years at Stripe this week 🎉🎉🎉- Replying to @MochievousI wonder who’s searching for these words in these countries. It certainly isn’t the locals.
- Replying to @777Seven777 and @K_ebabsEveryday it’s I can’t hear you - unmute yourself mate
- Replying to @Positivenga1When 50% or more of salary is spent on food by the average consumer, there is a lot of $$ at stake.
- He forgot to say financially financed 😭😭😭
- The wright brothers didn’t have flying licenses. Do with that what you will!
- I think my first week at Paystack has been successful because I created a custom slack emoji that’s now used on every other thread. Wow - just wow 🙂
- We’ve backed 8 companies on the black founders fund list. Congrats to all of them 🙌🏽🙌🏽
- Boys always know what they want. When they say they don't know, that means they don't want you (sorry)
- I took a 50% pay cut to join a startup in 2017. I asked them to give me the balance in stocks and they did. Less than 2 years later, that company got acquired by stripe and all my stocks got converted into stripe stocksWhat’s the most unhinged thing you’ve done to get ahead?
- I’ll be looking for a software engineer intern soon. You will be working with a superstar CTO and this could turn into a full time role after 3 months. I’ll pay stipend. DM is open
- The thing we are missing on the continent is craft. True craftsmanship. We need to be meticulous about the things we build and very intentional about delivering excellent products, great buildings, perfect finishing.
- In 2024, I will organise the biggest angel investor summit in Africa and have Jason Calacanis speak at it.
