For the month of January we believe it is important to talk about the US election. The piece we share is really a combination of two things. Personal thoughts about ideas that dominated debate and affected the outcome as well as some very well written pieces that I found on an Application I use talking about the effect of US elections on markets. The piece also suggested what to expect from a republican win as well as from a Democrat win. Fintech apps shy away from giving investment advice…understandably so but they are allowed to share the data from past events to inform readers about potential pitfalls falls. We also have a Q and A with a Tanzanian lady-Latifa Mkwawa who was also part of a leadership school that I attended and is in the EdTech space. I also share an article first featured in Wired Magazine and written by John Carlin called Farewell To Arms. We combine his ideas with a film made 10 years after his book was written as well as other newer projects will tackle the complexities of leadership, security, espionage, defense, arms, proliferation treaties and more. In one of my favorite pieces we share a letter from Bicycle Capital from its co-founder Shu Nyatta on their perspectives on early stage investments in LatAm with two key considerations.
