Africa expansion fails when companies confuse early interest with repeatable demand. I write about market validation, enterprise sales and building pipeline before a full local launch—grounded in experience across 6+ African markets. Start here ↓ milukipimo.com/?utm_source=x…

Your pipeline needs a next step. Know who will use the product, who controls the budget and who can approve the purchase. What would you change first?

Who is in your corner? The deal that keeps slipping. The hire you are unsure about. The market you are considering. What would you change first?

A strong brand can earn the meeting. Delivery earns the renewal. Before promising scale, name who owns implementation, first customer value and recovery when something breaks. Where does the handoff usually fail?

Customer Service Week is 5–9 October. Most businesses will hand out mugs, hampers or branded notebooks. Nice, but what about a new experience from one of the largest marketplaces across Africa? A ride gets used. It gets a customer to your office, a team member home safe, or a client to their next meeting without stress. If you want to show your customers and your team they matter this week, you can use Bolt for Business coupons, and we can help you roll them out across Africa. DM me if you're interested. #Mobility #Boltforbusiness #coupons #CSW

Everyone who knows me personally knows my love for EDM. Inspired by @DavidSolomon Chairman and CEO of @GoldmanSachs , I have a dream of becoming a professional DJ one day too. For now, I’m sharing my top 50 EDM playlist on @Spotify . With the help of AI, it updates automatically every Monday. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. Which tracks or styles of EDM should I add? open.spotify.com/playlist/1m…

Building a startup comes with challenges every day, but that's also what makes it exciting. I was lucky to join Bolt before we became a unicorn. Today, I work in Bolt for Business, which is a startup within Bolt. There is always something to learn, a new problem to solve and more to build. Last week, we came together with our global colleagues in Coimbra, Portugal, for our summit. It was a chance to reflect on our progress, connect with colleagues from around the world and learn from each other as we keep growing the business. But more than 65% of my team couldn't attend because of visa challenges. That was the hardest part. The reality of travelling on a weaker passport means missing moments you deserve to be part of. I'm glad they could join remotely and contribute to what we are building together, but we missed having them there in person. To our African GTM colleagues who couldn't make it, this team photo is incomplete without you. We can't wait to have you with us at the next summit. ❤️

A little credit to @OpenAI ’s GTM team. Their push on enterprise adoption has caught my attention. @AnthropicA built a strong business around enterprise customers early on. Reuters reported that business and enterprise clients contributed around 80% of its revenue in October 2025. Now @OpenAI enterprise business is gaining ground within its own revenue mix. This week, its CFO said enterprise and consumer revenue had reached parity. Those figures aren’t a market-share comparison, but they show why the enterprise race matters. What interests me most is the work behind it. OpenAI’s practical training sessions for different business functions are a smart move. Helping people apply AI to their daily work gives companies a reason to keep using it and expand. Anyone leading a commercial team knows how much effort that takes. A great demo gets attention. Building customer trust, navigating procurement and getting employees comfortable enough to change how they work takes sustained execution. The researchers and engineers deserve the recognition they receive. I think the GTM, customer success and training teams deserve more visibility too. So, kudos to OpenAI’s team for the enterprise adoption push. From where I sit, this is an important part of competing with Anthropic. GTM leaders: what have you seen in this AI adoption race that the rest of us should be paying more attention to? #openai #chatgpt #claude
