So much of being a founder is overcoming fear.
Fear of launching
Fear of talking to users
Fear of rejection
Fear of ambiguity
Fear of charging money
Fear of looking dumb
Fear of doing the hard thing
What are you avoiding because of fear? Don't let it control your company.
Day 2 at @tageuamsterdam .
While the devs ship code, I'm building Modou's entire outbound engine from scratch.
Goal: land the first real users before Sunday. Using an AI sales tool to sell an AI sales tool.
Let's see if it actually works.
@Joi2James Introducing Modou: an AI Sales Colleague that handles prospect outreach, CRM updates, follow-ups and data entry, so you can focus on selling. Connect your tools and talk to it in Slack, Discord, Teams or just from your inbox.
Most teams don’t know where they’re losing time.
I’m building an AI that scans your operations and shows exactly where the leaks are.
Just onboarded 5 testers → already found:
- duplicated workflows
- unused tools costing €
- missed follow-ups
Looking for 10 more testers.

Three weeks ago we went to Abidjan, Ivory Coast. We wanted market feedback and that’s what we got.
We figured out that agents are:
1. Mistrust the informal real estate agents
2. Not getting the visibility they want for their properties
3. Struggling to get on-time payments
Europe is eating itself up from the inside. Economically, politically, morally broken.
Food is getting served in Africa. Eat when the plates are still hot.
One week ago we went to Ivory Coast to test our mockup with customers, and harvest data.
Conclusion: everyone want more visibility, something we can offer.
Additionally, we need to pivot slightly to make an end-to-end platform. Soft launch ready at the end of 2025.
