Came across a founder few days back, building a messaging app, he knew what tech and business problems these startups face such as monetization, network effects, low latency and product designing. He knew his chances of getting funding was close to zero, and will have to probably wrap up in next few years. From what I could tell, he was smart enough to land a high-paying job or start another venture with a better shot at success. YET, he wanted to keep building it as he felt a country with the one of the highest number of internet and mobile phone users needs its own social apps. I offered to hop on a meet but he declined as he was only seeking my feedback. The ability to meet such founders and be part of the journey of a few is the USP of this industry. On a related note, I have been trying to start a fund, and looking for partners and advisors who can help me, read my previous post for some context - https://lnkd.in/gjKmTn5w If this interests you, let's connect!

How do you meet commitments to investors with a sleek mobile app MVP? Moove, an African-born startup, found that mobility for entrepreneurs across nine African countries lacked access to essential financial tools. And they wanted to solve this challenge with us. Imagine this—drivers juggling multiple communication channels just to manage their business and finances. It was inefficient, to say the least. Moove envisioned an all-in-one solution that could streamline everything from transactions to performance tracking. But here’s the kicker—it had to work across 13 markets in 9 different countries, each with unique challenges like varying tech literacy and unreliable internet. 🌍 So, what did we do? We teamed up with Moove to create an MVP from scratch—a scalable Android super-app. Our mission? To give drivers a seamless, centralized hub to manage their business anytime, anywhere. Here’s how we approached it: - We kicked off by deeply understanding the problem, using the Double Diamond discovery model to shape the solution. - We mapped out the tech infrastructure, from APIs to security, ensuring the app could scale across diverse markets. - We crafted a strategic roadmap, focusing on user needs and scalability, with a clear path for expansion. - Our beta testing in Nigeria provided critical feedback directly from drivers, helping us refine the app. - With performance testing and risk mitigation in place, we prepared for a full-scale launch. - The app rolled out across different geographies, continuously evolving based on real user feedback. How did it turn out? 🤔 Moove's drivers now have a fully functional tool that solves daily challenges, from tracking KPIs to managing payments, all while being scalable across multiple geographies. The MVP not only met Moove’s business goals but also helped them stay true to their commitments to investors. 🚀

Part 3 : Design an all-in-one FinTech App. POV: This is for founders, not for designers lol 😂 Today we design the Virtual Card Issuing Feature. Spoke about the API partner you can use and how the business model works. Feel free to ask questions or send a message if you are working on something. ***** P.S: I’m starting a community of founders by founders called “Dear Founder” to help each other build valuable startups.

🌟 Exciting News! 📢 I'm thrilled to share a project I’ve started with my friends Srinivas Sistla, Murari Grandhi, Abhiram Anumolu, Manikanta Balla, and Kowsic Nerella: WeSwap! It’s a community-driven web app allows people to swap items with fellow members for a short duration. The idea behind WeSwap is to facilitate borrowing and lending, make life easier, and foster a spirit of sharing and sustainability — values deeply rooted in our culture. We're still in the early stages, but the journey so far has been enriching! 🎉 Here’s a sneak peek of the low-fidelity user experience flowchart where seamless item swapping first started to take shape. We’re excited about the road ahead and can’t wait to share more updates with you soon! ⚡ #WeSwap #WebApp #SharingEconomy #Sustainability #StartupJourney #Collaboration #CommunityBuilding #CollaborativeEconomy #Innovation #CircularEconomy #ProductDevelopment #TechStartups #SustainabilityInTech
