What you likely need
You're an early-stage founder with a fast-growing product (325K+ users in 100 days at Mavu) and YC credibility from Kalinda. Your primary challenge right now is converting strong user traction into institutional funding and building out a team to sustain growth. Leveraging your YC network and Celo ecosystem relationships will be critical to your next raise.
Are these your current priorities?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- fundraisingUse Mavu's 325K+ user milestone and 715K+ completed microtasks as the headline metric to pitch a seed round — this traction is unusually strong for a sub-12-month company.
- introsTap your YC S2025 alumni network for warm introductions to seed-stage investors who back emerging-market fintech and AI data infrastructure.
- fundraisingPursue Celo Foundation grants or ecosystem funds given your five-year partnership history and deep knowledge of the Celo/Minipay stack.
- hiringPrioritize hiring a founding engineer or CTO to own the technical roadmap as you scale beyond 325K users — your LinkedIn shows no technical co-founder listed.
- positioningPosition Mavu explicitly as an AI training data and annotation platform for the emerging-market segment, not just a microtask app — this framing attracts AI-infrastructure investors.
- tacticalFormalize and publicize the Opera Minipay integration as a distribution moat — a named partnership with a 5.5M-user wallet is a rare enterprise-grade distribution signal at your stage.
- introsEngage impact-focused VCs (e.g., Omidyar Network, Flourish Ventures) who back financial inclusion in emerging markets — your Bloomberg Harvard and Mercy Corps track record is a strong fit signal.
