Most people only think about money when they make a payment.
I spend most of my time thinking about the systems that make those payments possible.

Looking forward to sharing that perspective at @TEDxMaitama

We had no clear path about how this was going to turn out.
Every founder starts with more questions than answers.
The trick is staying in the game long enough for the answers to show up.

Stop building complexity into something the market wants simple.

[Cory Althoff @coryalthoff]

Stop studying your competitors. Start studying your customers.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

@TTrimoreau I’d rather learn from users than assumptions.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

@TEDxMaitamang Excited for this conversation. Africa has the talent and the opportunity. Now we need infrastructure that makes cross-border commerce feel local.

Three years ago I was refreshing App Store downloads.
Today I spend more time talking to banks than checking installs.
Funny how building changes what success looks like.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

Heading to the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business next Thursday to speak at the Africa Business Club on "Africa Today: Integration Through Trade and Payment Capabilities."
Excited to discuss how stronger payment infrastructure can help unlock greater trade and economic integration across Africa.
See you there.

Keep your friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent.

@siddharthwv The hard part isn’t working hard. It’s keeping conviction when the outcome isn’t obvious.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

@TTrimoreau AI can build products. It can’t build trust.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

From 500 users to financial infrastructure.
The biggest lesson from building Blaaiz wasn't learning how to build an app.
It was realizing we were solving the wrong problem.
Here's the story of how that changed everything:

Pick your spouse, your work, your nutrition, and where you live very carefully.

Everything else matters less.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

@paulg Every release is another opportunity to learn what users actually want.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

@paulg @elonmusk We’ve made some of our best product decisions because a user took the time to complain.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

@theohandsh People shouldn’t need 5 apps to move their own money.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

@markproduct Less Friction.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

@TTrimoreau Users. Most product mistakes happen when founders build before they listen.

[Ifelade @Ifelade]

@thejustinwelsh The market usually tells you what to build. If you’re listening.
