I was able to save a protocol $9.8m at risk.
- all exploit details, full e2e, & acknowledged by team.
An unprivileged attack that’d cost an attacker just $1-5 causing loss of +114btc and an halt.

Building Brimble is the hardest thing i've done in my life and to be honest I am kind of suprised to see it's still standing, it's so crazy because we don't support local builders enough and if it's in S.F it's the other way round
1) You get constantly compared to vercel/railway and it's sad because if you want to get people in this space to use it to you need to ship features to the quality they have already set (either same quality or you go higher)
2) After shipping almost the same quality, local users here still force you to make decisions by cutting cost of your product, just because you want them to use it and at the end of the day, you still get compared and you even have no choice.
3) I and abraham have been constantly bootstrapping the product for the last 4 years, so we only scale on demand. We don't have the luxury to throw money into compute unncessarily.
4) There were different iterations of the product just to get PMF, the directions changed about 2-3 times between the years.
5) oh fine, "enterprise" has the money. But at the same time, you need a good amount of money to get the licenses to support enterprise and at the same time, some enterprise will look down on you especially when it's just 2 engineers managing the product, ever since we got the idea in 2022.
You do performance and security audits yourself, you need to be extremely stable (just with a team of 2 and after all that, you still get compared. It's very much fine, but nobody gives a damn)
6) Brimble literally has everything (databases, sandboxes, fullstack deployments, autoscaling, static outbound ips e.t.c). Strived to succeed
7) You are also trying to pitch to investors, in a case where some of them don't have a clue or the nuances involved in what you are building. The best everyone has to do is support local products, supporting local products even gives you as a user a ton of advantage. You control the type of features you want, the prices is very affordable for you, you'd get the maximum support you need without having to send emails or wait for 3 business days to get feedbacks.
A few angels really believes in the vision and fingers crossed, really love it.
But at the end of the day, it still seems you aren't good enough for people to use you.
I'm extremely grateful for people that took all of these out of their mind to actually support us in terms of using the product end to end. Sharing reasonable feedbacks and also sticking around even when it had issues.
If i have the opportunity to do this again, i would peacefully decline.
Building a website with AI is becoming easy. Getting that website online and keeping it running is still a headache.
Abraham Ugbeshe and Muritala David built Brimble to make all of that stop being the problem.

Founders, stop waiting for people to support you before you start showing off your work and what you are building , it can seem very lonely at times , posting your startup every single time , no likes , no engagements , no support.
You just have to keep going irregardless , keep showing up and doing your stuff , people wouldn’t support untill they see your motion and till it’s cool to support you.
Let me make this VERY clear! ⚽🏟️
Lagos Life does NOT record, copy, or rebroadcast football matches.
We have a legitimate broadcasting partner, and matches are streamed directly through their official player under a paid agreement.
What we’re building is a whole new way to experience football together. Stadiums, live chats, voice notes, and goal celebrations, all inside Lagos Life! 🇳🇬🔥
We’re building something special, and we’re doing it the right way. 🚀
@itzfortune_M Embedding into LagosLife doesn’t stop his game from existing stand alone, but would also help me tap into the user base LagosLife already have. Look at it from the angle of a group of friends having to play football inside of Lagos life there.
Great to catch up, @Shalom_heyeliy!
As I told you: dream bigger. The possibilities are endless. 5m players already. The next global gaming giant can come from Lagos!
Proud to back you at @R17_Ventures alongside @OoTheNigerian, @_kingNath and @ijbguy!
