Founder CEO @LipanaHQ

Consistent effort over time.

[Jarrad Grigg @jarradgrigg]

This is what entrepreneurialism feels like.

[Naval @naval]

When software was expensive - thin, horizontal, best-of-breed software stacks extracted rents across every business.

Now that software is cheap - value moves to vertically integrated businesses that deliver opinionated end-to-end experiences.

[Lipana @LipanaHQ]

Developers ask us why we're M-Pesa-only when everyone else bolts on cards.

The answer: focus. 2,500+ developers build on Lipana because the STK Push flow just works predictable callbacks, clean webhooks, real payout APIs.

When you do one rail properly, integrations ship in hours, not sprints. We'd rather be the best M-Pesa API in Kenya than an average everything-API. Depth beats breadth when reliability is the product.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

An initial startup idea can't usually be both grand and precise. In practice they're usually either grand and vague or precise and small. Precise and small is better. You know who your initial users are, and you expand outward. With grand and vague you can't even get started.

@LipanaHQ has an sdk. Kuwakumbusha tu.

[Justin Welsh @thejustinwelsh]

Every paycheck you get is evidence that someone else figured out how to monetize your skills better than you did.

[Shad Apollo @ShadApollo]

Vibe coded @LipanaHQ over a weekend last year, now 3k+ devs are using it to move millions every month. We are living the future.

@boardyai Too many fakes

[Shad Apollo @ShadApollo]

Ai raised the quality of code for most amateurs developers, but it didn’t raise the quality of thinking

[Shad Apollo @ShadApollo]

Your margins is my opportunity

[sid @immasiddx]

Someone made a song called “Claude’s Plan” inspired by Drake’s God’s Plan.

The AI industry has PEAKED here. 😭

[Justin Welsh @thejustinwelsh]

Your expertise is worth more as content than it is as labor.

[Shad Apollo @ShadApollo]

@LipanaHQ STK push is currently not available, our team is looking into this

[Shad Apollo @ShadApollo]

Is Mistral still in the game?

[Shad Apollo @ShadApollo]

If Apple can build a Gemini wrapper so can you

[Naval @naval]

Co-founder is marriage without the sex.

[Lipana @LipanaHQ]

Wishing a blessed and joyful Eid-Al-Adha to from the entire Lipana family. May your day be filled with great company, and endless blessings.

Eid Mubarak! 💙🐐

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@magattew Exactly. The West should stop treating Africa like it desperately needs their help. This is patronizing nonsense.

Frankly, my observation is that the average happiness in a village in Africa is higher than the average happiness in Beverly Hills!
