Tim Schumacher

We raised the first money from people like Steve Anavi, founder of Qonto, who believed in us.

Tim Schumacher in Germany, who's a serial entrepreneur and today fund manager, and he was like, "Oh, look at these people.

They really know Africa, and fintech is the next thing.

Well, I'm gonna seed this," right? And, and, and these were the first believers.

And so really great fit in that case, too, because we know what it's like.

And I know Tim Schumacher says this before to take it from two to 10.

And so if someone takes it from zero to two, and that's what they enjoy doing, like certainly we're not forcing them to take it from two to 10, because that's also what we're good at.

Um, so it becomes a really good partnership, even if it's, you know, a very quick transition or a transition over a year that, that, um, that works out very well for both sides.
