I beg to differ I think Nigeria needs more founders building independent companies and competing aggressively, not merging just because they're solving similar problems Competition pushes people to build better products We need more of it, not less

Quick question, do you guys invest in African startups too, or am I about to apply just to get my heart broken? 😭

I don't think you understand how much I believe in myself. I'm genuinely my own biggest fan.💜

I genuinely believe I am going to be one of the greatest to ever do it. You don't have to agree. 😂

I am HIM

For those wondering what EVE actually is... EVE is an AI-powered platform we're building to change how people connect, interact with technology, and experience the world around them. Imagine having your own personal AI that helps you learn, create, organize your life, and get things done. But EVE goes beyond just answering questions. We're building a system that can turn what you want into real-world outcomes. You tell EVE what you need, it understands your intent, connects you to the right people, services, or resources, and helps you get it done. We're also rethinking how people discover and interact with the world around them, from connecting with people to finding businesses, places, and opportunities. The bigger vision is to bring people, intelligence, and real-world services into one connected experience. We're starting with a small part of that vision, and we'll keep building. A whole new world. 💜

It's launch week for EVE. We're launching on the web first, then bringing it to mobile as an app. We've been building this for months, and there's still a lot we want to improve. But I think it's time to let people actually use what we've built. A little nervous about putting it out there, can't lie. 😂 Can't wait for you guys to try EVE. 💜

Been working on EVE for a while now. An AI assistant built with Nigerians in mind. And yes, she speaks Pidgin too. 😂💜 Still a lot of work to do, but we’re getting somewhere.

I applied to Y Combinator last batch with just an idea. Didn’t get in. Now I have actually built the product, and I’m thinking of giving it another shot. Also been looking into a16z Speedrun. Not sure which one to go for. Anyone here have experience with either?

😔this is just not fair

Hey @grok, if Nigeria were to build its own Silicon Valley, which city would you pick? And please don’t just say Lagos because that’s where all the VCs live. 😭

Man, I really want to be part of this tech race. The US and China are out there building crazy things, investing billions, competing to shape the future. And somehow I’m here in Nigeria thinking I can compete with these people too. 😭 I don’t know how we’re going to pull it off yet, but I genuinely want in.

I actually support larping. Call yourself a founder. Act like you’re building the next billion-dollar company. Dream way beyond your current reality. Just make sure you’re actually building something. Sometimes you have to be a little delusional before the world takes you seriously.

This is exactly how we keep avoiding the real problem. Religion didn’t steal public funds, destroy our institutions or make our leaders unaccountable people did. There are religious countries doing far better than Nigeria. Our problem isn’t that Nigerians believe in God. It is that we have built a country where those in power can fail repeatedly without consequences. Blaming God is easier than holding people accountable😑

I will tell u for free. NOTHING they will just ruin this perfect Sunday

There is a moat. It’s just getting harder to defend. Building software is becoming cheaper, but getting people to use it, trust it, and stay is still incredibly difficult. AI might kill the technical moat, but it won’t magically give you distribution, network effects, or customer loyalty. If anything, those advantages are becoming more valuable.
