One of the things i have been entertaining myself a lot recently is us as in the company. What we want to do and what we want to bring to the table. Well, i know that we are a payment company, that we want to facilitate the process of the ins/outs in payment in Sudan. That is super nice and all ofc. However, we also want to utilize the data and become a data driven company. In the process of doing all of that we want to achieve other and sometimes non-business goals such as empowering Sudanese people and become a tech-hub (mostly a new spin-off company that acts as a software house with support and commitment to deomcratize technology and through partnership and other technologies, availing the learning resources to a more wider audience in Africa via differnet languages and even different dialects) – that is all super good and lovely. However, practically speaking, we have to make money:
- to keep our team
- to realize our vision
- and basically to support any ventures we ever seek to pursue.
But, these notes are not strictly about futuristic things, in fact quite the opposite: i want to us to take notes on low-hanging fruits, small wins and gains we can optain to help us in different regards in our system. Business is all about risk, and in fact trying to play it safe will only backfire. I would rather have enormous failed attempts than living off of a one-timer success.
There’s a business opportunity in every layer of abstraction. There is a business opportunity in every chain of the payment process.
