Just logged into my LinkedIn and saw this from the @airalocom CEO. Speak life!
Tech Accra convened at the call of Tech Safari at Front/Back for the Tech Safari Accra Pop Up as part of the Tech Safari's West Africa Tour 🇨🇮🇬🇭 🇳🇬 It was incredibly fun, and I loved connecting with peers, and most importantly, having to meet someone I admire a lot, @calebmaru
Here are some of the major ideas that in my view helped define the experience with a few events that took place in the last two weeks of April @SlingMoney @africa_heroes and @calebmaru ‘s #TechSafari
It’s official – I'm excited to announce Superpower's $30 million series A from Forerunner and Day One, alongside celebrities Steve Aoki, actress Vanessa Hudgens, NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo, and existing investors Cyan Bannister, Shaan Puri, Balaji, Arielle Zuckerberg and many…

SIlicon Valley stablecoin startups are recognizing that African markets have uniquely high demand for their products. Many run LatAm + Africa strategies from Day 1. As I've said before, as much as Africa needs crypto, crypto needs Africa. Buckle up.
In the next 10 years Africa is projected to expand its workforce by more than the rest of the world combined. A remote African workforce can power the world's digital economy.
2024 was wild – we went from 30 to 140+ countries and launched stablecoin transfers 🌍 But honestly, we filmed this right after taking off in Kenya, and no one could remember anything else 😅 What was your favorite 2024 memory?
I had the incredible opportunity to join @calebmaru at the @Latitude59 event in Kenya where we made a presentation on 2024 Tech in Review Across Africa. 1/5
Expectation vs. reality for growing over 1200% in one week! So grateful for all the love recently, but it's been very long days and very little wine 🧑💻
It's been a very intense day at @SlingMoney HQ. We've found all the things that break when graphs go completely vertical. We're thrilled. This is a great problem to have. We're putting the waitlist back on briefly in Kenya while we make sure that all of our operations are ready…
We are overwhelmed with the love for @SlingMoney in Kenya! We're getting so many signups that we've had to temporarily turn the waitlist back on to help us manage the demand. @SimonRAmor will be speaking at the @Latitude59 conference tomorrow. We'll make sure that everyone who…
This is the first time I've ever built anything where our customers proactively create ads for us, for free, just because they love our product. Try @SlingMoney today.
@SlingMoney changed me and my housemates’ lives so today morning, we decided to do a quick product recommendation. (Not a paid promotion)
