Stumbled on a phenomenal Ghanaian entrepreneur last week and spent time to understand her business and her motivations. She is serving small shop owners in the area around where she lives and has 700 of them as customers already. She has a degree in Actuarial Science and a Masters in Computer Science. Almost about to start a PhD.
I convinced her not to raise anything yet. This is a business that is already profitable and can expand through partnerships. Helping her with those partnerships and giving her more support in the process.
What fascinated me the most is that she is running this startup from her living room and her car. She showed me her dashboard with all the small shops she is serving and pictures of products piled up in her living room. I even went outside and saw products inside her car.
Other people are struggling with ideas but she is doing it. This is the thing I found out about Ghanaian women from my early days here. They have more self motivation than most Africans I know. They just get shit done.
She reminds me of my wife’s aunt who runs the largest trading operation I have ever seen in my life here in Accra. That is the person I want to introduce her to next, as they have so much in common.
All she did was walk up to me and introduce herself at a conference. Now, I am introducing her to family members who can help. All thanks to #3iSummit

Yesterday, Ghana celebrated independence and the online conversations made us visible again. Unfortunately, visibility alone doesn’t build influence.
When the world looks at Ghana, what systems, opportunities, and experiences are waiting on the other side of that attention? 🇬🇭
Happy Independence Day to all 🇬🇭 Ghanaians! Today, as we celebrate 69 years of freedom, let's honor our rich heritage and the strides we’ve made as a nation.
Together, let’s continue to build a brighter future for Ghana! #WFPGhana#Ghanaat69

I said this in 2024 and I'll say it again, we must begin to think about how to institutionalize the works of @BBSimons for future generations. I don't think Ghanaians appreciate Bright enough for the thankless job he's doing for not just Ghana but Africa as a whole! The way @BBSimons explained the politics-policy dynamics on the webinar organized by NEXTIER is nothing short of insightful. God bless you @BBSimons. I really enjoyed the your presentation and the questions were insightful. Please share information about any of your next presentations with me. I want to continue to glean jewels of knowledge from your vineyard (Previous name: Coffie Jaydee. Now Dessy Nabas 😊)

Nobody tells you what founding actually costs.
They sell you the dream: "follow your passion," "change the world," "build something."What they don't mention is the loneliness.
Years of people not getting it. Your team thinks you're crazy. Your family thinks you're selfish. Your investors think you're moving too slow. Everyone has opinions. Nobody has the full picture except you.
You'll fail in front of everyone and then smile in the group chat like it didn't hurt.
You'll make a decision at 2am that costs $100k. You'll make another one that saves the company. You won't know which is which for months.
And here's the part nobody talks about: you can do everything right and still lose. Market shifts. A competitor moves faster. Your best person leaves. Your biggest customer disappears.
That's not failure. That's just Tuesday.
Most people can't stomach it. They shouldn't.
The people who stay? They're not dreamers. They're people who decided losing sleep mattered less than building something real.
That's the job.
