@FrancisSuarez Miami’s VC ecosystem is maturing fast. A few that consistently stand out:
@SoftBank, @foundersfund, @a16z, @MiamiAngels, and @FuelVC.

Excited to see more founder-first, impact-driven capital as @alpharisecap continue to scale from the city. 🚀

Now in 2025, I’m still defining what venture capital means to me. But one thing’s clear: there’s a certain magic in the art of backing people before the world sees their worth. And I’m here for it.

It took nearly a decade to raise their first £10.3 million fund in 1981 a testament to grit, vision, and belief in an ecosystem still in its infancy.

Today, I had the privilege of listening to Sir Ronald Cohen, Founder of Apax Partners, as he recounted the early days of launching one of Europe’s pioneering VC firms in 1972.

They’re launching what hasn’t been launched. Disrupting what’s been untouched for decades. Building in storms, not waiting for clear skies.

It’s not just about profit. It’s about purpose. It’s not just about survival. It’s about significance.

So the ? is:
coast or to conquer?

[Mahmood Mustapha @mistamood]

Most play it safe. The brave chase the whale.

In today’s world of algorithms, comfort zones, and predictable paths, the real entrepreneurs are out there doing what few dare to do chasing the impossible.

@YouthKenyan @daniel_ohtienoh As someone that did something similar growing up, it’s due to lack of electricity for night studies & assignments. Waking up early for school that last till noon and afterward helping with farm and other household work.

@AlexDamsker Purple, you do have a great market niche, you will need social impact investment and likely climate finances towards the utilities and secure government to business to customers model. Reach out

[Mahmood Mustapha @mistamood]

@AlexDamsker The demography will determine the type of vehicle and also the buying ability customers will further help with market segmentation. Example in rural communities one can use bicycles and in metro cities use motorcycles and in urban area use trucks

[Mahmood Mustapha @mistamood]

We look forward to witnessing the many ways in which your initiatives will contribute to a more sustainable future.
