A feed of finds, not opinions.
The main chat is a list of startups worth knowing. The talking happens one step to the side, so the list stays readable.
Share a link
The startup's own website, or a news story about it, with a few words of your own on why it caught your eye.
↗ startup.comTalk in its thread
Every post gets a thread of its own, a tap away. Questions, doubts and "I know the founder" go there.
↳ Reply in threadThe same four rules
The same four rules as Next BIG Asia, and everyone accepts them before their first post.
✓ Rules accepted
Small dot. Big shadow.
People use it
Not a launch video: customers, numbers, a waitlist that keeps growing.
The team ships
Something new every few weeks, and it gets better each time.
The market is bigger than it looks
A narrow start in a place most people are not watching yet.
You had not heard of it
The best find is the one nobody in the room knew yesterday.
The next big one could come from anywhere in Africa.
- Lagos
- Nairobi
- Cairo
- Cape Town
- Johannesburg
- Accra
- Kigali
- Casablanca
- Dakar
- Addis Ababa
- Kampala
- Tunis
Payments out of Lagos, mobile money in Nairobi, logistics in Cairo, climate tech in Cape Town. Members scout where they are, and the room sees all of it.
Four rules.
- 1Share links to startups in the main chat, preferably their website or a news article about them, and your description.
- 2All discussions are in threads only.
- 3Please check your posts for grammar, we like them to be tidy.
- 4Do not push your bets too often: we know you care, we love our startups' teams as well and wish them success.
That is the whole rulebook, the same one Next BIG Asia keeps. Everyone accepts it before their first post.
