I’ve a few blog posts in my head I’d really love to do but I wanna run this survey till Friday, so I know which subject to attack next w/end. (I’ve a “subject + header_image” as a thread after this tweet to give you a fairly good idea what the content direction will look like.)
The Startup Process: From Pre-Seed to Series B. Image
Startup Growth Process: Inflection Points Image
PayPecker’s Structure for Vision Accomplishment. Image

Pivot by Business Model Innovation: The Pivot is Complete!

From Ecommerce Marketplace Model to eCommerce Enablement SaaS!!🙌

@TheModernKnight deserves his stripes as an astute ecommerce founder/ceo!👏👏👏
Seems I have found me the ONLY “old 2010 African Marketplace Econmerce Era” Founder going with me into this new “2020s African eCommerce Enablement Era!”👊👊👊😂😂😂
The REAL VALUE is in the keywords “before the fact!”🤓

Ecommerce Enablement is…🚀🚀🚀

Will be creating a landscape map for Africa with @danielyanda, like @Accel’s.

Watch this space! Image
@Base10Partners and @Accel are at the cutting-edge of thought-leadership in #EE space👍 base10.substack.com/p/faster-than-…
I committed 3hrs today to work w/@danielyanda to finish this “African Digital Commerce Enablement Markerscape.”

So, I’ve been thinking of how best to make it comprehensive and all-encompassing.

Saw this tweet👇…spark went off! Old tweets have inspirational value too👌

Emerging market tech startup ecosystems seem to be major beneficiaries in this new post-COVID reality the world is settling into. I’m convinced unicorns are gonna be much more commonplace in the frontier markets of SEA, MENA and SSA. The 2020s will be their/our coming of age. Image
Any African founder that doesn’t recognize that we are at an inflection point in the tech venture market in Africa will find himself caught flat-footed. Now is the time to lean HARD into the LARGENESS of your dreams! Now is when anything is possible. Go BIG—or go and drink zobo!
I post the foregoing thread 12 hours ago—and it is already aging very well.

Just imagine, that ALL these entities👇 with the highest traffic in Naija wanted to host commerce & fintech-enabled experiences WITHIN their apps (aka SuperApp)?

@PayPeckerHQ APIs is the infrastructure that links their high demand/traffic aggregation heft👇to THAT world!
So, you’re making a bet on @BetKingNG and you remembered you need cornflakes? Right, within the @BetKingNG app, add cornflakes and the cornflakes is delivered to you from the nearest retailer closest to that has the best fill-rate for your request—FREE + WITHIN 10 minutes! YES!!!
Oh! You don’t have the money to pay now? Not a problem, select @get_carbon’s Zero as payment option and native their BNPL offering is made available to you—NATIVELY and seamlessly!!! There are TOO MANY use cases I can’t even think about or yet fathom. But this should be BIG!!!

“Gojek Co-CEO to Head App Giant After Merger With Tokopedia.” Nicely done. Essentially an acquisition of Tokopedia by Gojek, combining the biggest commerce tech venture with the biggest fintech venture in Indonesia. Interesting! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Interesting from the perspective of this tweet👇 now aging well, like fine wine. (I expect the trend and deals like this to uptick in the frontier markets 2021-2025.)
And I expect Social verticals to join in the fray before that 2025.

“Squire’s revenue went from zero in March, when all barber shops closed, to $10m-$20m in ARR...10 months later....The growth indicates how the next wave of barbershops will be built...’We just took off like a lightning bolt,’ co-founder Dave Salvant says.” techcrunch.com/2020/12/09/squ…
Hopin’s business took off. Unsolicited offers from investors started pouring in. Hopin raised a fresh $40m from VCs...and w/out even building a deck, the company garnered a further $125m, valuing it at $2.1B, 77x up from 1yr ago!

...
... And still, Mr. Boufarhat said, “investors are reaching out almost daily.”
