African startups don’t get funded for potential; they get funded for proof, and proof takes time. So the name of the game is simple: stay alive long enough to show the numbers.

Where do African revenue leaders fit in this AI wave, and how do we get our share of the cake? Quite a week in enterprise tech. Chirantan "CJ" Desai steps down as MongoDB's CEO to build Meta’s enterprise AI business. Following the announcement, MongoDB’s market cap fell from roughly $33.1bn to $27bn. About $6.1bn lost in one trading session. Then former Snowflake CRO Chris Degnan joins Cognition as CRO, valued at $48bn. Chris story is very interesting 😆 Clearly, there’s value in people who know how to turn technology into enterprise revenue. But CJ’s challenge is interesting. Meta has the resources and reach, yet it’s a consumer-first business. In my humble view, building an enterprise B2B business within that environment will be tricky. Having businesses advertise on your platform doesn’t automatically mean they’ll trust you with critical operations. That trust takes time to build. For African commercial operators, what should we be doing now to position ourselves to build and lead these businesses?

“Who makes money, when you make money.” Great one bro.
Apple TV launched in Tanzania, Kenya and a number of African countries a few days ago. There are a few things to pick up for anyone building a tech product in Africa. My thoughts 👇🏽

Always re-watch your favourite movies at different stages of your life. The plot never changes but your perspective does.

We have to build AI that murders us, because if we don’t, China will build it first, and I don’t want to get murdered by a computer that speaks Chinese. That would be ridiculous.

AI imeua ubunifu though. Siku hizi almost report na deck zote zinafanana, inatakiwa watu wajifunze kuandika prompt nzuri iache kuwaletea basic stuff.
Kama ulikuwaga unajifanya unajua kuandika"report" siku hizi na hizi AI kila mtu ni fundi bana.

If you can only nail three decisions in your life, make it: who you marry, where you live, and what you do for a living.

One of the cruelest things poverty takes from you is the freedom to make mistakes. Every decision has to work.

Kiswahili kina maneno ya kutosha tu kuelezea hisia ni vile hatuzichukulii hisia kwa uzito wake katika mazungumzo yetu. Hisia ya ‘siko sawa’ ‘najisikia vibaya’ inaweza kumaanisha moja kati ya hizi au mchanganyiko: huzuni, woga, hofu, wasiwasi, fadhaa, fedheha, hasira, ghadhabu, hatia, fadhaa, kinyongo, uchungu, maumivu, uduni, majuto, msongo, unyonge, aibu, kukerwa, wivu, kujichukia, husda, chuki, upweke, kukata tamaa, kuzidiwa, kujikataa, sonona na nyinginezo nyingi. Kwa upande mwingine, ‘najisikia vizuri’ inaweza kuwa moja kati ya hizi au mchanyiko: matumaini, kuridhika, huruma, kujiamini, ujasiri, usalama, furaha, upendo, fahari, kujivunia, msisimko, amani, ridhaa, uchangamfu, utulivu, shukrani, ushirikeni, kueleweka, kusikika, kuthaminika, kuaminika, kukwezwa, kusifika, kutambulika, kutumainika na kadhalika.
Nime notice Kiswahili kina maneno machache ya kuelezea hisia . Hisia nyingi zinatumia maneno sawa kuzielezea Mfano ,neno nakupenda

Said it before and I’ll say it again. There’s less than 10 years until UEFA invite Brazil amd Argentina to the Nations League and uses it to overthrow the World Cup. The big African nations will quickly follow then you get Japan and Korea in and it’s a legitimate competition
European nations will discuss potentially boycotting the World Cup if Gianni Infantino pushes ahead with plans to sell off part of FIFA to private investors. 🚨
