š§° 185: Which footballers back startups, POS system built in Bubble, 100+ growth tools, and more
Perfect roundup
What a year itās been!
I honestly feel super grateful for everything.
Iāve seen exciting micro trends such as the passion economy enabling digital nomads, community driven startups, remote working, black media, the exciting African ecosystem, the expansion of alternatives to coding and long term trends such as healthcare, AI and uses of the blockchain.
Iām betting that the most important problems to solve are still immediate ones with a shift in the way people work, live and collaborate. Iām rooting for everyone black, I still believe the most exciting opportunities are there.
Common themes: hustle and strategic partnerships.
