We are excited to share that we have received the FDA’s approval to launch our first-in-human clinical study!

This is the result of incredible work by the Neuralink team in close collaboration with the FDA and represents an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people.

Recruitment is not yet open for our clinical trial. We’ll announce more information on this soon!

Having in front of me hundreds of pitch decks from Rwandan startups and investor comments on each, the single biggest challenge for our ecosystem is - consistent traction, not the profile of the founders.

While recent tax reforms are helpful to all businesses, we need special incentives for locals to buy from startups.
Waiving VAT when purchasing from a youth-led startup could be a great way to start.

Startups can play a critical role in driving innovation, and job creation, and fundraising is essential to their growth, particularly in their early stages.

By creating an enabling environment for investors to put money into these young ventures, we can stimulate economic growth and promote a more vibrant and diverse economy, which enables a wider tax base.

- A personal opinion.
