Doesn’t work in Africa. Make profits o.

If you even see the way Ramp is moving, it's like Bujeti too.

In Q3, we worked on one problem, growing businesses shouldn’t need more manual work to keep up. So we built AI teammates that chase invoices and answer finance questions. Euro accounts. 15+ integrations. Payroll remittances with automated payslips + up to $2,000,000 in perks. Visit bujeti.com to learn more

Happy birthday to builder-extraordinare @ALeKaizer More life, money and prosperity

Real life, baby

Saw this firsthand at Ramp. The fastest way to grow talent is to drop them straight into the real pace of the company. No warm up. No training wheels. Those first weeks shape everything. Urgency stops being a talking point and becomes the job.

As business grows, executives and managers begin to seek greater control and optimisation of their business funds and expenses. + Marketing wants a card for Meta ads + That spend comes out of a budget (sub: paid acq.) that the GTM lead owns + GTM lead might also want to invest in sponsoring an event like Borderless, which will come from the main marketing budget + CEO and COO want to know how the money is being spent. In the future, the COO hires another staff member, say, a dedicated performance marketer and adds that person to the marketing budget or paid acquisition sub-budget In the US, this thing is a $4B dollar market, and you can see it with Ramp and the likes. The market is much smaller in the UK, and requires support by providing more financial services than just SaaS/workflows. Still, the US and the UK make up about 70% of the market. The natural question to ask is: Who's building this in Africa? But why should they?

Je vais vous dire pourquoi Bujeti est le meilleur outil de paiement transfrontalier et local en Afrique de l’Ouest (oh oui!) 👇 Payer un fournisseur en Chine, régler une facture en euros à Paris et encaisser un client en naira le même après-midi, sans courir entre trois banques ni attendre une semaine qu’un virement SWIFT veuille bien arriver, franchement c’est exactement pour ça qu’on a construit Bujeti. Bon concrètement, il y a quoi dedans ? Des paiements à l’international, même en Chine, là où beaucoup de solutions vous lâchent dès qu’on sort de l’Europe ou des États-Unis. Des cartes de paiement en dollar, euro, CFA et naira, du coup chaque dépense part dans la bonne devise et vous n’avez plus de mauvaise surprise de conversion sur le relevé, pas de faux frais non plus! Des outils IA dédiés et connectés à votre activité, qui s’occupent du travail répétitif pendant que votre équipe finance se concentre sur les vraies décisions. Des intégrations avec vos logiciels comptables, vos emails et vos processeurs de paiement, résultat plus de ressaisie à la main ni de fichiers Excel qui se contredisent en fin de mois. Une facturation normalisée directement dans l’outil, sans passer par un énième logiciel à côté. La collecte de paiements automatisée, pour arrêter de courir après vos clients et voir l’argent rentrer pendant que vous faites autre chose. Et le paiement en masse, jusqu’à 5 000 paiements en une seule fois (oui, CINQ MILLE, vos salariés et vos fournisseurs vont adorer la fin du mois). Bref, gérer votre entreprise comme une boîte du Fortune 500 ou du CAC 40, avec les mêmes outils et la même rigueur, ce n’est plus réservé aux multinationales Les autres ont RAMP, Mercury, Brex, vous vous avez Bujeti, meme ADN YC, meme service, différent géos Vous voulez voir à quoi ça ressemble de l’intérieur ?

I'm from France. Here's why success doesn't work there. France is still, in many ways, a monarchy. Not on paper, but in practice. There's a court, there are courtiers, and access to the court is everything. In the US, the best win. In France, the network wins. That means having the better product doesn't make you win. Having the better network does. Who you went to school with. Who you had dinner with. Which minister's office your friend used to work in. And when the network wins instead of the best, mediocrity spreads to every floor of the building. Every company, every institution, every level. This isn't a side effect of socialism. It's where socialism ends up. The more state you have, the more crony capitalism you get. The more crony capitalism you get, the less excellence survives. Today, the Democratic Party is walking you down that exact road. Here's what happens next. The most talented people leave. Less wealth gets created in America. Less wealth means more demand for the state. More state means more cronyism. And the loop feeds itself. Don't enter that loop. For the love of God. America is still the living lung of the West. The last organism in our civilization that's fully alive while everything else slowly suffocates. You can still make sure socialism and communism die everywhere in the West. Start at home.
