[Timmy | Evolution @timmyisagod]

Excited to share that Evolution has joined Nuvion @ournuvion 🚀

When we started Evolution, we had a simple vision: make moving money across borders easier and more accessible for individuals and businesses, enabling them to go Global from wherever they were.

We believed that accessing global financial services shouldn’t be complicated simply because of where you live or where your business operates.

What started as a platform for exchanging digital assets grew into something much bigger. We built infrastructure that enabled people and businesses to hold multiple currencies, receive international payments, move money across borders, and access financial tools that were previously out of reach.

Along the way, we served thousands of users, processed millions of dollars in transactions, and learned firsthand what it takes to build financial infrastructure in emerging markets.

But more importantly, we saw just how much work remains to be done.

As we continued building, one thing became increasingly clear: solving cross-border banking challenges at scale requires more than a great product. It requires strong financial infrastructure, regulatory reach, and the ability to serve businesses wherever they operate.

That’s what makes this next chapter with Nuvion particularly exciting.

Nuvion is building an AI Powered Global banking platform for ambitious businesses, bringing multicurrency accounts, international payments, FX, virtual cards, and stablecoin infrastructure together in one place.

Our visions have always been closely aligned, and joining forces gives us the opportunity to pursue what we started at Evolution on a much larger scale.

For me, this is an opportunity to take everything we’ve learned building Evolution and apply it to something with the infrastructure, reach, and ambition to serve businesses around the world.

I’m especially excited that members of the Evolution team are continuing this journey with me at Nuvion. We’ve spent years building, solving difficult problems, and learning together. Now we get to bring that experience into a much bigger mission.

To everyone who believed in Evolution, our early customers, investors, partners, community, and the incredible people who contributed to our journey: thank you.

You trusted us when we were still figuring things out, challenged us to build better, and helped turn an idea into a real business.

I’m incredibly proud of what we built, and even more excited about what comes next.

Evolution was never just about building another fintech company. It was about making global banking accessible for the people and businesses who need it.

That mission continues at Nuvion.

@the_boludada Glad you’re back
I don spam your DMs. Figured a lot was happening

[Bolu Dada @the_boludada]

The last week has been beautiful

sometimes you have to step back from the momentum and ask yourself if you’re truly scaling or just getting bigger

we’ve been growing fast (400 signups daily kind of fast, still with zero paid marketing so far)… but I realised we hadn’t scaled the foundations to match

People first, people most especially… then systems, undocumented processes that had become bottlenecks in hiring, unit economics, security(daily hack attempts, but we tighttt), cloud infra (after burning so much money, you’d realize leaving it to auto-scaling wouldn’t save you lol), all needed a rethink

I’ve finally understood that Growth is getting bigger, Scaling is becoming capable of handling bigger

It’s uncomfortable to pause when things are moving tbh.. but building a company is as much about knowing what to fix as it is about knowing what to build next

I’ve also met some really cool founders and operators and had conversations with almost everyone I’ve looked up to in the tech ecosystem. Grateful for the access and the clarity that csme from it all

We have a much clearer picture of what needs to happen next

Hold your seatsss, we are going to be all over your timeline 🙂‍↔️

Excited to announce that we’ve signed a 12-month commercial agreement with Morvdesk (https://t.co/3ArgQPSQuJ), a Europe-based investment product manufacturer.

Decide will provide specialized AI models, agents, and infrastructure, while both teams collaborate to build and deploy AI solutions for investment research and financial operations.

Another step towards bringing our technology into more enterprise environments.

[Ossy Vincent @ossynoya]

But this thing doesn’t make sense at all. How do you struggle to leave your country for a better one and when you get there instead of contributing to the society you start doing this or demand they implement same rules that made you leave yours. Crazy.

@Real_Ija „Eventually”

Yes I think it will be enough

[timi the chef 👨🏾‍🍳 @timithechef]

All that will matter eventually sha

@sheiswetemi I have that tweet bookmarked 😭

At least now you’ll know where it came from if you hear it 😭😭

[Ìlérí⚡️ @pipe_dev]

French riots seems cultural, they have been doing it since the 17th century. King Louis suffered it first hand

So I see no sense in it when you say it’s immigrants causing it

@pipe_dev @siredeku Rooting for you and the team

[Ìlérí⚡️ @pipe_dev]

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.
