It hits differently when the official account of the 3rd-largest ecosystem in crypto, with 3.5 million followers, highlights your work. The African Solana ecosystem may be young, but it's making a lot of big-boy strides. It’s rewarding to see these African-built products gaining

If there was ever a time for Americans to hold the line against Big Tech, it is now. Overwhelming majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and independents do not trust Big Tech CEOs to act in our best interests. @bstein80

Seun is so spot on. When founders develop solid technical/product capacity, social capital, and financial leverage, funding becomes easier. Too many African founders skip that work and build their entire personality around how and why they deserve venture capital.

Played around with a creative marketing campaign idea for @KASTcard, using Burna Boy’s opening line in his famous song ‘Last Last’.

strongly believe everyone in a tech company should do sales for one month… try selling the nonsense you’ve been attending daily standup for.

In the West, crypto is a solution looking for problems. In Africa, crypto is often the only solution.

Another day in which the community-led growth playbook gets validated. I fucking love original thinking like this. David argues that venture capital should never be confined to capital deployment and deal flow alone. A traditional VC firm can evolve into a network-effect

Meta should be running a masterclass in layoffs at this point. Jeez. Every 6 months, they clear out entire departments.
I was laid off by Meta today. As a Research Scientist, my work was just cited by the legendary @johnschulman2 and Nicholas Carlini yesterday. I’m actively looking for new opportunities — please reach out if you have any openings!

One of my state mods got the Meteora airdrop that’s worth $26k. The opportunities on Solana are unmatched.

That’s why it turns me off when founders build their whole identity around raising money instead of building products.
" @aeyakovenko didn't want to speak with us because he was coding. That's when we said, okay, this is great. This team is wasting no time speaking with VCs." @viktorfischer on how we invested in Solana’s pre-seed and seed rounds 👇

I judge companies by their hiring process. The hiring process is a company’s first impression, and it usually tells me if I want to work with them or not. If they’re non-responsive or vague, it’s usually a sign of what’s waiting for you on the inside.
I won’t forget how I entered the final stage of Amazon’s interview. On the last day of my interview? I was interviewed by five people for eight hours in one day. Started at 8am ended at 9pm or so I didn’t get the job and I didn’t get any reasons why. This life ehn

Last year’s EPA, CDC, and CPSC joint study on the use of recycled rubber in parks and playing fields is one of the most comprehensive to date. Their findings were definitive: “Chemical exposures were likely limited and similar between natural grass and turf fields.” The study
