As entrepreneurs, we always find ways to see positive aspects of any situation. For me, it has been REST! that I'm not traveling! Last year I traveled 400k miles so this has been great to be in same place for a month. It's been years since that's happened

It's hard for me to see beyond the crisis because we don't know how long it will last and what the consequences will be. Right now, I am just trying to survive physically and as a business.

The advice I would give future generations is that change happens. Your circumstances will change but it doesn't change the core of who you are. Stay true to your values in good times and in bad.

Whenever I see official info coming from China, I pause. They have the best propaganda machine on the planet. So even during this #COVID2019 crisis, I find myself questioning everything.

Let me share a short story of why.
A few years ago, went to China for a business trip to a resort town. Everything was perfect. Most beautiful airport I had ever seen, roads, cleanliness, infrastructure but few people. We had a ‘minder’ accompany us everywhere. She knew our entire bios. Super friendly and helpful.
This we were taken to a five star resort by the beach which had everything, including a full basketball court. We were there with a number of top CEOs, most of whom had flown in private. One of them challenged my travel companion to a basketball shootout but he didn’t have shoes.

A sad day in our community when a shady startup founder uses law enforcement to intimidate and threaten former team members more than a year and a half after they left.

Don’t worry. I will give you all the details.... flying algorithms won’t keep me from tweeting.
Petit, là où tu viens de mettre les pieds, j'espère que tu seras capable d'assumer. Comme tu dis qu'ils t'ont fait perdre 25 millions de chiffre d'affaires, tu vas nous montrer ce CA là. Ils ont volé ton d. Tu vas nous montrer l'usine de fabrication où tu as fabriqué le d là.
Tu admets même que tu leur doit 4 mois de salaire. Tu prends une liasse de 1 million, tu jette sur la table, 'ce n'est pas l'argent qui me manque. Tu me donnes mes 25 millions en dommages et intérêts et je te paye ton salaire." Insolent!

Jumia shut down its Cameroon operations this morning, firing its entire staff, no public announcement, no special word from the group or its CEO. The brutality of the news to the staff echoes their management style and is, I believe, one of the reasons for its demise.
I watched this company from inception. When a young lady, newly arrived from France, was sent to start the Cameroon ops for Africa Internet Holdings, a @RocketBerlin subsidiary. I was introduced to her and of course knew Rocket. I was excited that they chose to come to Cameroon.
She was super young, and this was her first trip to Cameroon and really her first real job. She was very dynamic and I wanted to help. I offered her the use of my conference room at @AppsTech free of charge to help launch the company.
