How to make sure you lay down tonight knowing you made the most of the day. Get sunlight in your eyes (early day), do 4hrs of focused work. If it’s not an off day, move some heavy (for you) objects in the gym, or get your heart rate up with movement for 30-60min. Laugh at drama.

🚨 ALERTE : Warren Buffett tire sa révérence à 94 ans
Warren Buffet vient de publier LA lettre la plus attendue de l'année par Wall Street.
Il confirme que Greg Abel se prépare à prendre les rênes de l'empire.
Les chiffres sont spectaculaires ! 👇
✅ 334,2 milliards $ en réserve
✅47,4 milliards $ de profits
✅26,8 milliards $ d'impôts en 2024
C'est l'équivalent de 5% de TOUS les impôts des entreprises américaines...
L'Oracle d'Omaha en profite pour adresser un avertissement à peine voilé aux autorités, en pleine année électorale :
"Merci Oncle Sam. Dépensez cet argent sagement. Prenez soin de ceux qui, sans que ce soit leur faute, tirent les mauvaises cartes dans la vie. Et n'oubliez jamais votre devoir de maintenir une monnaie stable."
We don't talk enough about the incentive structures in our venture ecosystem. The anchor LPs in Africa's funds (DFIs) have little to no individual incentives around returns.
* Removing returns-based financial upside / downside from venture capital creates a risk-less LP class and end goals become much more process-oriented.
* This can (but doesn't always) set the tone for GP prioritization around riskless income (fees) vs. risk-aligned income (returns). Historically, there's been very little return pressure.
* Why? Funds are getting re-upped by default. LPs in a riskless environment will maintain the status quo. Ease-of-process > performance.
* But, we are investing in the riskiest markets in the world. Navigating and manipulating that risk is exactly why Africa has so much potential in the first place.
* By stripping risk-based incentives out of our ecosystem from the top down, we sanitize the reality of how brutal (and amazing) venture in Africa actually should be.
* We should see more failures, more quickly. We should see investors get tested more thoroughly and founders also as a result. We should see a sense of urgency and desperation to squeeze water out of stone that these markets demand. We all know this isn't the standard today.
Africa has the most risk-detached funder ecosystem in the world investing in the riskiest startups in the world. As a new wave of tech is about to sweep over the continent, this must change.
