A webinar could definitely work. I think a webinar with more of a conversation format or interview format with Q&A or an AMA at the end to give it more of a natural and authentic feel. I guess short written interviews would also work.

This is something we've also been thinking about! Thanks for sharing. Definitely going to be higher in the priority list now 😊

For me, it'd be a feature to be able to get insights like which trends are coming, whether to invest, when to invest, and how.

This would be cool. I like the "how to invest" part. Education is really important as trends are ever changing and the question about "whether to invest" or "when to invest" is very nuanced. Just yesterday, I learnt about the Gartner Hype Cycle and apparently there is a debate about whether it is best to invest in a start up around the "peak of inflated expectations" or at the "Plateau of productivity". Sadly, there is no "mathematical equation" to determine whose perspective is most accurate.

For me this depends on what I am in the mood for...lol. More often than not, I am very curious about all the cool stuff that African founders are up to and some of the unique solutions they are coming up with, so I guess I would most likely be interest in an "How I built this" or "How I am building this" feature. I think what is special about startup and entrepreneurship is that there is no one way to build somethings, and the challenges and opportunities are even more unique for African startups so I love hearing and learning from founders and their team.

I understand this sentiment. So would it be like a webinar format? Or did you have something else in mind?
