One interesting thing I have observed about working in growing startups is watching your “responsibilities” being decoupled and seeing the company pay good amount of money to bring people in to carry out subsets of your tasks while you were or are possibly not being paid enough.

The way it’s going now you can buy something of 120,000 and give the person 100 dollars today and say “hold this one first, don’t worry, by next week, the money go complete for your hand”

The pandemic (lockdown) was definitely a lit phase. It was interesting to see how we all found ways to cope with all that was going on and make a lot of fun memories while at it.
I can’t forget Zikoko Live (speed dating), people going live to DJ, Versuz, Clubhouse, IK Ogbonna 🇳🇬

The ecosystem isn’t built on founders alone.
We need to also talk about the non-founders who put in a lot of work behind the scenes to get a lot of startups and the ecosystem at large to where it currently is.
They don’t get as much accolades as they should tbh

Anyone can fall for a Social Engineering attack. It just needs to be well crafted and planned.
If you think you can’t, you just haven’t been targeted by an attacker who has good enough incentive to.

Most people largely think about APIs, integrations, UX and the code part of Products but the operations, finance, compliance, regulation are equally as important
Products (especially Fintech) don’t just magically work. For that API you’re consuming, there’s a lot going on behind

We are trying to “innovate” our way around it even when all the variables we are basing our ideas on are only going lower and lower.
From actual market size shrinking to purchasing power shrinking to revenue shrinking and talent wanting to be paid more.
Can it get any worse?

In this fintech, when there’s peace I’m always scared because why is everything working peacefully at the same time?
Third party is fine?
Regulators are fine?
Customers are fine?
Code is fine?
can someone explain it to me?

Need to do a hackathon for people to build mini fintech/wallet platforms(wallet system, credit, debit, p2p and payment processors) and another for people to try to exploit the wallet systems built.
It will be pretty interesting to watch the different approaches people take.

Jack’s like…
“I’m sorry y’all, it’s all my fault”
Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment. I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that.

One of the things I have seen I need to set straight in teams I get to manage is defining what a blocker is.
It looks small but it’ll shock you how much that in itself can change a lot.
People embrace reasons to be “stuck” and blame it on something even when there are ways out

I have spoken to a lot of people and this is a recurring theme.
It’s even worse when the person still is being underpaid for their base responsibilities not to then add their undocumented responsibilities which they just fill in for or carry on for the company.

Things I love to hear are:
abc wasn’t ready so I moved on to xyz pending when it’s ready; we were stuck at xyz, we approached it another angle and came up with a way out so we could move on and here is it
