Wonderful development. When people say Yorubas aren’t in a class of their own when it comes to business, continue to show them people like this guy. There are even more other tribes from Nigeria in America, yet a Yoruba is the wealthiest Nigerian immigrant. Soon he will pass every other black american. Only entertainers and Robert Smith are ahead of him. If this company goes public he might pass Dangote. Thank God almighty that the Yorubas are blessed. 365 Likes 33 Shares |

Nigerialabalaba: If you get sense you go know say the billions Remitta or other banks are moving daily is not their money so how does that come into this discussion? We are talking about market value, this one is saying nonsense. Bring Remitta market value cap or keep shut. This discussion is above what your brain can comprehend. So because you are a bank or payment agency, any money of your customer is suddenly your money? I know before that IPOB terrorists no get sense but you just validated my assertions. By the way Calendly is based in USA, if Forbes acknowledged it as one of the most successful black business why should I waste time with a NOBODY like you from Upper Iweka? 115 Likes 16 Shares |

Nigerialabalaba: Now ask yourself how much is the commission daily and now compare it to the subscription fees Calendly collect daily also and use that to infer the worth. IPOB terrorists lack thinking. So because bank collect commissions daily that means they must be the richest business in the world? Why is no bank listed in the top 10 companies with the biggest worth in the world? You see your lame logic? Just as Remitta collect commission on money is as Calendly collect subscription fees daily. Calendly has over 10million active users paying subscription in $$. Use your brain for once Shinedu. What is Remitta market cap value? Paste him here to save us from his lame back and forth argument. 86 Likes 10 Shares |

trutharena:olodo, u tink say I dey say d guy no try. I just dey school u say no be by valuation. if 10 million dey pay $20 monthly for calendly,dat na $200m monthly and dat na $2.4 billion revenue alone from subscription fees. abeg use ur brain for once, which company go dey make $2.4 billion yearly and still dey raise money from investors every time. U need sense aswear2gud. Business no be for by valuation o, na by real cash and cashflow wey dey flow like river. If dat company get dat money, e no go dey do series funding upandan, in fact, equity funding no go enter dem eyes especially for $3 b valuation. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Nigerialabalaba: Stop saying nonsense. Software are paid for by companies who buy the right to use it and plug their employees on it. They have 10million people using it and those can be grouped under their respective companies. For example Lyft is one of their customers, that mean that all lyft employees using the Calendly software are part of the 10million people. Micorosft Azure and AWS for example has subscription fees that corporations pay but their employees are plugged into it to use it and even most times their customer base itself from the front end. Grow sense and learn. You see why I said you no too get sense? Companies continue to attract investment even sometimes big corporation which was why Elon Musk just bought more shares to be the biggest shareholder in Twitter. Since this is not a 2by2 shop, I can understand your brainpower can't comprehend. Lastly, it is not by cash flow alone, are you the owner of the cash itself? If moving money as a bank is easy money for banks like that why are the banks not the richest corporations in the world? Shinedu think nao. 79 Likes 8 Shares |

Omoo, two monicker arguing up above, i hate to say this but you both are right. I don't know how to use all these terms but i know that all this evaluation, worth, are all paper money, not even sure that guy has $100M cash at hand. And nigerialabalaba asked, if a company is making $2.4B in revenue, why does it need funding? I'm also asking. In terms of market value, remitta doesn't stand a chance. Is it because remitta is a local payment system?? 7 Likes |
