Future Africa

🚀 Hey Founders! 🚀 Let's be real: legal documents can be a buzzkill when you're hustling to build your dream startup. We get it, and that’s why at Future Africa, in collaboration with Accelerate Africa, we are on a mission to make legal documents way more exciting and useful. We have a Founder's Agreement guide that cuts through the jargon and gives you the juicy details you need. But here’s the deal: we have also provided accessible templates to make your life easier for free. Before you use those, we have broken down the terms so you truly understand what you're signing up for. It’s about knowing the "why" behind the "what." And this is just the beginning! The Founder's Agreement is only the start of the resources lined up for you. Check out www.acceler8.africa for more guides and templates. We’re updating regularly, so stay tuned for fresh content! 📚✨ https://lnkd.in/eC_qBXiJ Questions or need a hand? We're here for you. Let’s keep you focused on building, not drowning in legalese! #StartupHacks #FounderLife #LegalMadeSimple #acceler8Africa #Africanstartups #Founders Mia von Koschitzky-Kimani Iyinoluwa Aboyeji Mathew Saunders Jonathan Ruwanika CA(SA) V.

One of the highlights of my Moonshot experience was finally meeting Iyinoluwa Aboyeji who co-founded two of Africa's most valuable startups, Andela and Flutterwave, and built them into $1 billion and $3 billion companies, respectively. I'm very rarely starstruck but you see me right here? I was starstruck! 🤩🤩🤩 I'm grateful I got the chance to introduce our work at Remote Tribe Africa to him and pick his brain on areas we should be focusing on to achieve our vision and help more Africans lead in the global digital economy. It was a lightbulb moment for me, and I walked away with some of the most valuable business advice I've ever received... And I’m already putting them into action. I truly admire E and his current work with Future Africa. The success of his investments in Moove and Itana are solid proofs of the incredible impact he’s making on Africa’s future via Future Africa. Let me say this: I'm learning that the phrase, "your network is your net worth" is not a cliché. Whether online through their materials or physically, do your best to surround yourself with those who have walked the path that you're looking to walk. I learned something on this day and it was to make sure you're ready when the opportunity you've been waiting for comes. As always, I'm rooting for you. ❤️ Good morning from all of us at Remote Tribe Africa. 🌍 #RemoteTribeAfrica
