Chappies Bubble gum Brief
I made an announcement this week on Preambleβs Instagram that from July 2022, for the first time since I started the newsletter 1-month-ago, I will dedicate one issue to the African startup scene. That edition will cover trends, founderβs stories, and funding. I will study the feedback β if necessary β I will expand to additional issues.
Talking about the future, Iβve secured the TikTok and YouTube handles for Preamble, although they are currently private, I will use them to launch our long form videos later this year. See you on Thursday!
