Yorubas and tech

Wow... Everything is critical thinking and support from family and friends.

Also Considering the age and period the founder of this Start-up graduated, it's obvious they did not stay at home for a long time.
Staying at home after NYSC kills critical thinking, problem-solving skills and initiative.

let me use this opportunity to expose this moniker claiming to be female. So that you will not be scammed
The moniker Sterope is not a female. I don't know why the mods deleted my post on a previous thread. Is this not against rule 19?
Cc Mynd44 Seun this moniker is an alternate moniker of
Supernatural19 and eseleborjpyaho
Check the mails attached and the phone numbers

Out of all of em just fear those paystack guys. Those guys are backed by dangerous US companies in expertise and funding.
So while many of us were busy fooling around with NYSC. These ones were busy looking for VCs.

Lol you can say that again. When Dickson Nsofor started this Korapay stuff, all he presented was an idea and he got a seed funding of N5 Billion naira. There are many organizations willing to fund disruptive ideas in Nigeria. They know Nigeria is a good market but they are not ready for this agbero lifestyle so they go through people who know the terrain. Similar strategy employed by Uber when it acquired Careem.

When Shola and Ezra of paystack graduated they found their way and applied to stripe to fund them. At that time only Interswitch was around with the yeye #150k integration fees. Stripe gave paystack their template, funding with engineering talents. Paystack met up with KPIs later and Visa decided to pour more money. I know paystack now process over N10 Billion in monthly payments.

Segun Oni's MDaaS startup in Ibadan recently got $1 million from the US and another from finca ventures . Things are happening!

Rightly said. To get the attention of those Venture capitalist isn't easy at all. It shows that those pay stack guys have a good business with tremendous future prospect

There is one thing stronger than all the Armies in the World and that is an Idea whose time has come.

Sometimes I see no point in a startup getting a large beautified office which eventually eat into their initial investment.
Consequently, instead of focusing on innovative ideas they will be worrying about finances and bills and to further make it worse, they transfer these bills to the customer.

Most ideas that stands the test of time are cooked from garage, one room or study.

I had a friend who spent so much pimping his startup office, according to him, he wants people of class to identify with it. At the end of the day he ended up redundant after few politicians turn up

This country could have been among of the best countries in the world!!

But look, Look where we are Number one poorest country in the world SMH

Nice one

Wow. Quite unfortunate. Yes humble beginnings begat bright future for some startups that know what they are doing

FinTech oooooooooo

FinTech oooooooooo

Exactly...

Truth is Yoruba's control the tech scene as it were. Paga, Max.ng etc. Maybe it's because of Lagos. I don't know.

OP, wait o, where is the nairaland office?
You want Oga Seun to delete your name for the register
