Some are born with it all. Some are born with it but restricted. Some are born with nothing and still make the impossible happen. Being in Tokyo made me reflect on this. Life is not fair, but the strong wind cannot blow forever. Keep working.

Go win the next one we will watch the money 🤑
Winning the client was the hard part. Getting paid shouldn’t mean waiting on wires, chasing invoices or explaining your country to a bank. Go win the next one. We’ll watch the money.

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so". Does society really dictate good and evil or is it a personal mindset

Failures create the opportunity for success if you learn from the failures.

You can have a shittty idea as a founder but out match a founder with better or genius idea by execution. It's all about can you turn shit into gold
reviewing startup applications is a reminder that a good idea is only the beginning. i want to understand three things about every founder: 1. why this problem matters. 2. why they're the right person to solve it. 3. what they've learned from talking to customers. the quality of the thinking matters as much as the pitch.

Curious what was the biggest issue you experienced?
We tried this for bank payments and saw very bad things.

You are more likely to succeed with your startup if you don’t have Plan B , you would do everything possible in your power to make your startup a success. You gotta go all in and give it all you’ve got with so much intensity that reality has no choice but to bend to your will and give you the win that you deserve.

What would you build if your business banking wasn't tied to one place? Mboka is built for businesses like yours that sell, hire and pay across borders, with local accounts, mobile money payouts and stablecoins in one dashboard. See what it can do.

Banking shouldn’t depend on your passport. For every founder who was turned away because of where they’re from, well no more, Mboka gives your business global accounts, collections, payouts and stablecoins in one place.

Paying for Meta ads, AWS or a supplier abroad shouldn’t be a project. Mboka gives your business USD virtual cards in seconds. One card per team, a limit on each, freeze with one tap.

Find a problem and solve it. If there's no problem create one for them don't care how or what find it
Problems are your opportunities. And opportunities are your problems.

💯 agreed there's a different kind of confidence that comes from knowing you can get paid instantly globally for your skills.
