No expiry date on Chaplin’s speech in the Great Dictator - ironic that such an orator came to rise during the era of silent film 🎥 🧠

Just off a @KLM flight from @HeathrowAirport, rarely check a bag, brand new laptop in box with receipts, trying new model for the team, picked my bag up and the laptop was gone - no accountability or help from @KLM_UK @KLM @AirFranceKLM - any suggestions?
Love to see stories about real business metrics and not fundraising - more if this please 🙏🏽 Well@done to the @TeamAptHQ team and all the supporters @kola_aina @theafrovc and others

NEW: Just signed our budget. California will now be the first state in the nation to achieve universal access to healthcare coverage.
This is what being “pro-life” ACTUALLY looks like.

Something I have learned over time.
Some of the conventional rules and disciplines are conventional and stood the test of time for a reason.
The key is knowing which to challenge and which to respect.

Hearing growing buzz in startup land about something called “EBITDA”. Anyone know anything? I checked, not a new coin apparently

Generally speaking, when something *really hard* (like investing) begins to look *really easy*…
There’s serious pain on the horizon.
Macro policy catalysing capital in Africa is an important piece of the puzzle, as it has been in other more developed markets… and more pieces are starting to fit 🧩
Could Accra, Nairobi and Kigali become Africa’s new financial hubs? They plan to lure firms with tax breaks econ.st/3GmVqp4
Great to spend quality time with @theafrovc @nneka_eze and other early stage African VCs over the past few days - our time is now 🚀🚀🚀
All smiles from our GP @theafrovc, Vestedworld's @nneka_eze, Enza Capital's @MikeMompi and Seedstars Africa Ventures' Maxime Bouan at the 2021 AFSIC: Investing in Africa Conference and Expo in London yesterday.
Thoroughly enjoyed the catch up and laughs @LiamABlack - more soon!
We talked about impact investing, capital raising, building a business. But mainly me and @MikeMompi had a bloody good laugh.
Raising VC funds is too often seen as success in and of itself - we need to double down on chasing real businesses solving real problems with real margins rather than focusing on the headlines #africatech

Such an important point which seems to be increasingly overlooked across both sides of the table
