@Positivenga1 @BankOfTanzania @SwahiliesPay Congrats man!

[Haulay @Positivenga1]

I’m happy to share that the Central Bank of Tanzania (BOT) @BankOfTanzania has granted @SwahiliesPay our own Payment Service Provider (PSP) License.

Over the past few years, we have worked with more than 15,000 SMEs through bookkeeping and embedded finance solutions. This license now allows us to build and launch our own financial products directly with licensed partners, while also serving businesses with higher transaction volumes.

We are getting back to work, focused on building bigger things for businesses across Tanzania and Africa!

Be firm, fair, and friendly, but not a friend. In the corporate setup, friendship can lead to favouritism, and favouritism is not fair...

Major areas where the financial system still needs an update:

1. Tokenization of real-world assets - Real estate, stocks, bonds, funds, etc. onchain for instant settlement, fractional ownership & massive distribution.

2. 24/7 Global trading - Pooled global liquidity, every asset, every person, with great leverage and capital efficiency.

3. Next-gen payments - Near-instant, low-cost global transfers using stablecoins, including for Agentic payments.

4. AI-powered risk, credit, compliance, and advice - Better decisions, less fraud, and broader access to capital. Everyone gets access to a great financial advisor.

5. Innovation friendly regulation - Move from one-size-fits-all to risk-based rules that encourage innovation and competition instead of stifling it.

6. Expanded access - Open protocols that reduce middlemen and self-custodial wallets to expand access to everyone with a smartphone.

7. Capital formation - Low cost and turnkey for anyone to raise money for a good idea, increasing the number of startups.

8. Sound money - A refuge from inflation, when discipline is lost in fiat money.

Jobs not done until we get these working for all.

Will require lots of tech innovation and policy work to get there.

Business is built on trust. When credibility is earned, access to capital follows: enabling businesses to grow, scale, and create lasting impact.

Productive engagements in #Mauritius with leaders from the banking and financial sector, focused on strengthening long-term partnerships, investment, and growth across Africa.

@J_Bardella You’re an immigrant yourself. On what basis are you assuming these people are immigrants? That kind of thinking comes across as racist.

Anthropic just passed OpenAI in revenue run rate. OpenAI is at roughly $25B. Anthropic just crossed $30B. Sixteen months ago Anthropic was doing $1B.

You could add up the annual revenue of Snowflake, Datadog, Cloudflare, MongoDB, and HubSpot and you'd still be $15B short of where Anthropic sits today. Combined they do about $15.4B. Anthropic does double that. A company that didn't exist five years ago.

That $1B was December 2024. By end of 2025 it had hit $9B and people thought the growth would slow. It didn't slow. It doubled again to $14B by February. Then $19B by March. Then the number everyone is staring at today: $30B run rate in April. In a single month they added $11B in annualized revenue. That's an entire Atlassian appearing overnight.

They've 10x'd revenue every year for three straight years. If they do it again, Anthropic hits $100B run rate by end of next year. More revenue than IBM. More revenue than Nike. From a company that earned its first dollar less than three years ago.

Claude Code didn't exist 14 months ago. It's at $2.5B run rate. 4% of all GitHub commits on Earth are now written by Claude Code. That number doubled in a single month. Projected to hit 20% by December. One in five commits on the planet written by one model.

To serve this demand they just ordered $21B in custom chips through Broadcom. Nearly 1 million TPUs. Over a gigawatt of compute. That's enough electricity to power a city of 700,000 people. Just for inference. Not training the next model. Running the current one.

Anthropic pulls $211 per monthly user. OpenAI pulls $25 per weekly user. 8x monetization on a fraction of the audience. Two years ago 12 companies spent $1M+ a year with Anthropic. Today it's over 500. 8 of the Fortune 10 are customers.

The secondary market has already repriced what this is. $2B in buy-side demand chasing Anthropic shares. Almost no sellers. Bids implying a $600B valuation, up from the $380B primary round two months ago. Meanwhile $600M in OpenAI shares are sitting unsold. Goldman is charging 15-20% carry on Anthropic allocations. They're giving away OpenAI for free.

The IPO was originally targeting $500B. It will likely come in north of $800B. At 10x annual growth for three consecutive years, the question isn't whether Anthropic is overvalued. The question is what multiple you put on a company that might be doing $100B in revenue 18 months from now.

Sixteen months ago this was a research lab. They just passed OpenAI and the run-rate revenue of Netflix. And every number in this post will be outdated by next month.

@rocksmani3 @AnthropicAI That's how you calculate run rate.

[Ryan Peterman @ryanlpeterman]

ex-Amazon VP (@EthanEvansVP): "One of the hardest things for people to understand is I've identified a legitimate weakness in my boss. I go to my skip. Why doesn't he do something?

Well, if you come to me with a weakness in one of my employees, there is subconsciously this process that goes on that says, I have two choices. I can believe that you're overly sensitive and high maintenance. In which case, I don't really have a problem. You are the problem.

And you know, you're two levels down for me. So if you quit, well, the manager has to do the backfill. And I can tell the manager, you know, Ryan was here. He said this, that and the other. Maybe you can work with him. And that's exactly what you don't want is me ratting you out. But I can make it my manager's problem.

On the other hand, if I agree with you and I'm like, you know what, this manager I have really isn't that good. Now I have three problems. This is really bad for me.

One, I have to decide what to do with my manager. Maybe I have to manage them out.

Two, if I do manage them out, I have to hire and train somebody else.

And three, while they're gone, I have to do all their work myself. So you can see why, even if it's subconscious, I have a lot of reasons not to listen "
