    KYC is definitely an application & 1st use case of Appruve. We've always understood our mission as organising financial identity data across Africa & other emerging markets.The potential of that is limitless.

    Reasons why startups should price relatively high in general: 1. Easier to lower prices than raise them 2. PMF at low price doesn't mean PMF at a higher one 3. Less likely to leave money on the table 4. If your product is actually 10x better, it's worth it What else?

    It’s now been shown across study after study that older founders do better than their younger counterparts. Yet these days I see so many older founders moving into VC instead of starting what’s likely to be their most successful startup yet.

    If you want to be a historian, go into finance. If you want to write the future, go to a startup. Financiers study the ideas that already exist and pick the profitable ones. They study how things have been done already, and cap their imagination. Startups invent the future.

    I was going to write about the Okada ban but people reminded me that I had written about the root cause before. It is Lagos and Lagos just does not love you. It isn’t personal. As a business you should never have a Lagos concentration risk. It is fatal.

    1/ Ever seen a company where customers loved the product but the company STILL failed? Over 10 years I’ve seen this way too many times. It’s caused me to question whether the importance product market fit is a myth. Check this out 👇

    Number one tip for new leaders, managers, and CEOs: spend a few minutes every day complimenting the people around you on their awesome work. Easy to forget, and your words mean more than you think.

    This is good advice for founders who *think* raising big rounds = success. Avg founder % at exit is 15%, should be closer to 30%. Of course people don’t always have a choice. But the point remains.

    Conversely: don't artificially increase your valuation just to reduce dilution. Just raise what you need with a small buffer if you're wrong. Then, get scrappy. Back in '09, we had fewer funding options & leverage but because we raised so little we all had to be disciplined.

    If you let your seed round creep up to 25-30% dilution, and your A round get to 20-25%, and your B round get to 20%, and throw in an accelerator or a pre-seed round, at some point you will look at it all and say "huh, I wish I had been more disciplined".

    There's obvious survivorship bias here, but on the other hand there's something worth listening to--early stage valuations have gotten so high that it's easy to raise a lot of money without thinking about how much you need it.

    Asked some very successful founders of the past few years what they wished someone had told them. Answer: don't dilute so much in early rounds.
