Trust compounds quietly and breaks loudly. Nobody builds it by saying “trust me.” You build it by making the business easy to verify. That is what a Digital Data Room is for.

10 seasons. 43 startups. 78 founders. Hundreds more applied. Season 11 is next

#ThrowbackThursday to the London launch of Investment Worthy Startup by @TomiDee. Written for founders building investable businesses and the angels deciding which ones are. Worth the read if you are either

Most founders know their business. Fewer can show it. That gap is what the Digital Data Room closes. Revenue. Costs. Margins. Customers. Milestones. Assumptions. Evidence. Organised, it answers questions before an investor has to ask them.

Founders assume selection is about the idea. It is mostly about what sits behind the story: traction, numbers, team and what the next stage actually requires. @TomiDee on how we choose

Global rooms are only useful if what you learn in them comes home. @TomiDee with Candace Johnson, former EBAN President and other angels at the World Business Angels Investment Forum.

100+ startups supported. 1,000 is the goal. What we have learned so far: capital is rarely the binding constraint. Structure, documentation and investor access are.

Founders hear “no” and assume the business failed the test. Often the business passed and the mandate did not match.

If you were raising capital tomorrow, what would you need to hear today? @TomiDee answers that and names what he thinks Africa’s biggest challenge actually is

Before angel investing in Africa had conferences and newsletters, it had rooms like this one. Our Collaborator-in-Chief @TomiDee with global angels, early.

Hardest number for founders to get right? We see all four go wrong. Curious which one you think is worst

Run this on your business today: Proposition. Organisation. Economics. Milestones. You do not need perfect scores. You need to know which one is weakest before an investor tells you.

Today we celebrate every Nigerian building. Founders, teams, investors and everyone choosing to keep moving forward. Happy Independence Day 🇳🇬 #NigeriaAt66
