1k001: Yipeeee. I love startup progress, following your story for a year now. Hopefully I’ll be joining that part soon, I’ll have loved to know the startup but it’s good that it’s still alive, hale and hearty. It feels good chatting with a startup founder, I only read about startups on TechCrunch. More grease to your elbow sir 1 Like |

If you're still following this I respect you a lot! Coming to the end of the year and we're having our best year yet. We've surpassed $300,000 in revenue, now have 35 team members and are raising a round of a few million dollars going into the new year. It's been a very tough ride with many sacrifices and difficulties but so glad we're able to make significant progress now. I went back to read the threads from years ago and it's remarkable how much we went through and how much we've forgotten. Reminds me of the importance of writing things down. Will try in the coming year to write even more not for anyone else but for my future self. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Goodnigga: Founders still retain the majority of the shareholding. We raised so far via SAFE and convertible notes. We're doing an equity round in the coming year that will convert everyone into equity. It will be clearer then what everyone owns. The reality is that it's always difficult to retain significant ownership in one's first venture. For the accelerators, I just kept applying and building my network and story. The advice I give to people applying is to focus on the 3 "T's". Team, Traction and TAM. Make sure you have a great team with domain expertise, Build and get traction and always be progressing regardless of any difficulty, target a large and growing market with a total addressable market in billions of $$. 4 Likes |

1k001:I was guessing so, because the more the investors, the less the control, however, I have a tech start up to launch soon, can I PM you so as to learn the ropes from you personally? |

This led to the launching of a tech community focused on empowering IT professionals (and potential professionals) seeking for growth and opportunities. My job is to act as a bridge a visionary builder that will prepare them for opportunities. Please reach out to me via 08089456258 Your story can be helpful for them or whoever you delegated. Thanks |

Always surprises me that people still follow this thread. So things are going okay still. We've raised over $1 million now. We have a team of 55 people and we have surpassed last year's revenue of $350k already this year. The economic slowdown is slowing our growth but we're still excited about what we're building and the difference we're able to make. Whatever you do as an entrepreneur, never give up. Your dreams are valid. 6 Likes |

I wish you and your company a billion dollar valuation sometime in the future. Cheers to a great future ahead. |

xammax: Thanks for keeping up. We did just under 1 billion Naira last year in revenue and employ about 60 people across several cities. Your dreams are valid but it will require a lot of hard work and perseverance. |
