Breaking Bad.
Samthing Soweto.

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

When I first arrived in Silicon Valley, I watched two guys go to lunch, sketch an idea on a napkin, walk into a VC's office that afternoon, and have funding by the end of the week.

Back home in Senegal, that same idea would've taken two years of permits, bribes, and government approvals before it could legally exist. 

By then, the moment would be dead and the founder would be broke.

That gap between what's possible in a free system and what's impossible in an unfree one is the reason I do what I do.

@NoelAnyango3 @bryaux @Dr_AustinOmondi Machine 8m. Licences might take even 1yr depending in product. You still have to market. Operation costs. You keep discovering you need new equipment that you need to buy. Very poor resale value of machines. Low margins. Taxes. Employee theft. Sio rahisi pia
