Midweek Check-in: A Leap Year
Because everyone loves some extras.
Hello 👋 Dear Innovator,
Is it still hot in your side of the country? Have the rains done justice yet? 🫠
Most people usually complain about January and its 329 days 🙄, and it seems like this year, February is determined to follow suit.
“What’s the big idea with an extra day anyway?”, you might ask.
Well, we did a little digging. Just for you.
Around the world, traditions concerning the Leap Year and Leap Day mean several things. The two most interesting ones that we found are:
Scottish people call individuals who are born on the 29th of February “Leaplings”. For people who celebrate their birthdays once every four years, it’s almost fitting😅
Are you a Leapling?? 👀
It brings good luck. Some people believe that this extra day can be used as an excuse to make plans and double down on resolutions because there’s a lucky charm to it.
So, Dear Innovator, what plans have you put on hold? Do you think you might take a chance? 😉
Anyhoo… it’s time to take off into the world of updates from Consonance Club!
Incase you missed it, here are a few lessons from the session that was held last week Saturday with our special guest, Ayobamigbe Teriba from VC4A 💃
As a founder, do due diligence to know the investors that are the best fit for your startup.
The mistake that startups make is to build for investors. Products should be built around the customers’ needs and pain points.
Startups are more likely to raise funds if they can dynamically merge the customers’ needs and wants and build a product/service out of it.
We’ll be back on Saturday.
Till then, keep taking those great leaps! 🌍
