Kubik is the first Ethiopian startup to attract over $5M for climate solutions. They turn hard-to-recycle plastic waste into low-cost, low-carbon, interlocking building material by removing environmental waste and creating ultra-durable, safe, affordable buildings.

@poppastring love to see it.

I wonder how they solved fire safety, plastics tend to be discouraged because of that afaik

You say: "Stealth mode".

@carlton I always enjoy the "should I have beta testers sign NDAs" question about startups.

I hear: we haven't tried getting users yet.

@circumeo Yeah, nice one. Brilliant. (Normally you’d kind of WANT folks to talk about your product 😅)

I love folks who ask for NDAs (when there’s not already money involved, i.e. they’re paying you). It’s a massive tell.

You know all that data you typed into our website?

Well, we just got an offer to aggregate it and sell it to an AI for training purposes.

And we love money and our investors are hungry, so we're going to do that.

Here's an updated TOS saying we can do that.

We love our users and want to keep you happy so we can continue farming you to feed the AI.

When are we going to stop throwing VC $ at idiotic male founders without good ideas while ignoring sound women founders?

Well said @annieparker.bsky.social

“The subtlety of it is pretty insidious. Like some kind of distributed long con, played out over and over, in the midst of so many millions of other simultaneous ones.”

So on point 😳
Is there more of this at the source? Eg an article or an (recorded) talk 😀?
I would love to learn more

Ello, Goodbye.

(That feeling when you don’t have to write something about it today because you already said everything that needed to be said ten years ago.)

“Venture capital is private subsidy that keeps the startup alive long enough until enough people have joined their platform. At this point, it’s too late. By being part of the platform we have created its value. This is the value that is sold in an exit. The only way to resist this system is to not build that value in the first place.”

@aral do you remember how Paul Mason used to gush about Ello (as the FB killer)?

ErvinKalemi,

Albanian tech startups that I will gladly follow this year:

  • POK: Transfer money to friends and pay bills, including restaurants through the built-in food-delivery service

  • Patoko: Order a taxi or a professional driver

  • OneCal: Sync Google/Outlook calendars and accept/organize meetings online

  • Rumio: Book an appointment at salons and beauty centers

  • Kibo: Reply to messages, comments and emails from a single platform

Which one caught your attention?

ErvinKalemi,

@vsaw I would not expect such a startup to come from a developing country like Albania 😔

Unpacking the fallout of the failed Adobe-Figma deal. As regulatory hurdles mount, what does this mean for startups, venture investors, and the future of tech acquisitions? Read my latest analysis here: https://om.co/2023/12/18/implications-of-the-adobe-figma-deal-failure/

@Rycaut that’s a different model and has existed alongside the VC model. My article was strictly about the “VC” ecosystem.

Rycaut,
@Rycaut@mastodon.social avatar

@Onmyom sure. But I’m wondering if there is space (and appetite by sources of funds and investors) for new funds designed to support a different model of corporations and outcomes. Might look fairly different from current VC models but might also offer a far more sustainable model (as well as support a much healthier ecosystem of companies that could generate innovation without the many current antipatterns of growth at all costs and the related abuses and literal incentives for fraud
