1/n #Burundi If you are a "start-up" Burundaise let me give you practical solutions that can help you last in this #Bujumbura quagmire. Trust me, I have years of making the same mistakes in here. First you need to understand the mindset here :
2/n Try not to seek funding for your idea if you don't even have an MVP( Minimum Viable Product). The Burundian funder will surely want the ownership of your product since he will consider that he funded your idea! Your idea unfunded was shits 🤣! #Burundi
4/n 4/n Cost of a MVP: you need a server, internet, electricity, an IP address and a domain name for hosting your application just for the first client to use your product and get you the funding you need to finish honing your services #Burundi
5/n Why ask your foreign friend/relative for a Netflix subscription instead of requesting to pay for you just 15milles balles par mois of a server for $5/m on Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr. Available online 24/7, an IP address! #Burundi . A domain name is $12/y.
6/n As I said earlier a subscription on Lumitel data bundle cost BiF30k/month for 45G. Plenty enough for you to connect to your remote server and launch your MVP product. Everyone is using it to binge watch Netflix in #Burundi . Let's try to use it efficiently.
7/n So Bif45k/m + $12/y for launching your MVP product as a Tech startup. Roughly $200/year. I know plenty of peoples outside of #Burundi have been asked more money than that for futility (ibiyeri and shits). A lot of young are lying about lack of funds to launch their business.
