Only 12% of GetEquity’s 14,000 registered users actively invested in equity deals. With a total of $3m raised so far on the platform, doesn’t this means this would never be a profitable venture especially with the fact that this numbers were gotten after >$500k investment.

I often get invited to speak at LSE and Wharton but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten an invitation from a Nigerian University before.
It’s the same way I’m invited to speak at 10+ international conferences a year while I rarely get invited to speak at conferences in Nigeria.
Correct me if I'm wrong oh but I often see accomplished Africans jetting off to student organised conferences in universities in Oxford, Boston, London, California etc. I rarely ever see the same enthusiasm for student run conferences in Lagos, Nairobi or Kampala. Why?

I love when privileged people have occasional needs and they want an entirely new business vertical dedicated to them.

There’s an entire business vacuum for restaurants dedicated only to breakfast. They’ll open 5am and close by 10am. They have their own app or integrate with Chowdeck. They have small shops across town where people can drive by and pick. Just breakfast. I usually want food at 6am
