TwoCents is a fantastic platform for writers to authentically express diverse opinions without rigid rules or deadlines.

This platform has been a welcome development. It's been a place to help me arrange my thoughts and improve in ways
to analyse issues, research and communicate my views to others, it has also been a place to vent which is
therapeutic atimes😂

TwoCents sparked my passion for writing and introduced me to lifelong connections.
From the moment Tobi shared the link with me and I joined, I never looked back - it's TwoCents till infinity!
Esther Omemu
Design Associate @ Hera Marketing
Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations
Anita Koske
English Language Teacher/Assistant @ Academie de Versailles
My best friend introduced me to TwoCents, and I remember chatting with Tobi and think how brilliant the platform is!
More than two years later, I still feel the same, the space offers more than just nuggets of wisdom here and there, you can get inspired and even channel your creativity in a great way. There's so much TwoCents has to offer and I can't wait to see what it blossoms into🌸

Top answers from some of our sessions.
No I don't! I think today, ML is being used a crutch to solve major problems when simple solutions are much more effective. For example, if you talk about leveraging ML to create better educational outcomes but you don't have enough schools or even electricity to run these systems, there is obviously a mismatch in priorities.

For startup, the vision and mission of the founders should be very clear that every employee can identify with them and broken down into measurable behaviours expected from employees with the founders leading by example.I don’t have a blog at the moment. Maybe in the near future 😊
Dolapo Onasanya
HR Manager @ Pernod Ricard Western Africa
Hi Daniel, I think for this you just need to put yourself out there. Write more, put your writing online, on Medium, LinkedIn, even Twitter. Work towards becoming a contributor on platforms that are aligned with your style of writing. Build the right connections by going to writers workshops, interacting with the right people online, etc. Also, it sounds random, but make it clear you are a writer, use your bios wisely. At the end of the day, you want people to search your name and see your writing skills.
Toyin Jolapamo
Senior Digital Communications Analyst @ Oando Plc
There is a good chance that you will be able to do this, you will most definitely need to start off with a Master's program then transition to a traditional PhD program. Many programs favor students with relevant degrees (Computer science, electrical/computer engineering, math, etc.) for admission into their programs since they have the necessary background to understand the basics of computer science.

Data will be critical....things like predictive analytics etc will shape HR and business decisions in general

What is the duration of your preferred exit/ROI when you invest?

* Large Market Size
* High Quality of team
* Really painful Problem / real market need
* Distribution/Acquisition Channel
* Simple business model
Since your journey investing, what has been your biggest mistake and lesson learned?
* Not sure I''ve made a big mistake yet, but we''re still early and mistakes are part of the journey
* My biggest lesson is the quality of the team matters most, so invest in quality founders that I can see myself working for.
What are top sectors you have invested in?
* Fintech
* Crypto
* Education
* Just done a deal in social commerce (TwoCents Exclusive)
As a startup, what should i think of or put in place before contacting an angel investor or VC?
*Have a product, show you can build something and have some users
I understand the risk of investing in start ups, how do you react when a startup you invested in does not produce good returns or fails?
* I expect at least 70-80% of my investments to fail
As an aspiring venture capitalist, what is are the steps in being one and your general advice?
* Start a startup and learn from the experience
* Try writing an investment thesis/memo on a company that hasn''t raised money and why you would invest in them, check out opentraction.com for sample investment memos

Investor @ Microtraction
Excellent question John. In project management, there is something called management reserves, this is used to handle unknown risks. Management principles will always imbibe management reserves in solving unknown risk.The use of analogous estimating, which is historical knowledge is also another way of solving unknown problems.

I would say machine learning is the process that leads the way to machine intelligence!
Chinasa T. Okolo
Managing Director & Computer Science PhD Student @ The Diasporic Group & Cornell University
I must start by appreciating the starting process, to by pass that, it means you made it already. First, not being a Business incline is not an issue. You only need to be directed on how a Business should run and how you can leverage your energy on growing your business. Which you can contact an expect for direction ... contact consultingnest@gmail.com and get leadings and directions. Building your brand, is not something you can achieve over night it takes time, consistency, and patience. You equally need a lot of Mentoring on that. You can reachout to me directly so we can go from there.I can assure you, you are doing good already for just the fact that you started.Reachout lets talk more.

Thank you, UK for this.Well, skill appears overrated sometimes especially technical skills.The reason is, all Architects ideally have the same skill-set technically. The differentiating factor however is what I call life skills. As such, I advise young professionals to have a blend of technical skills and life skills. So rather than work with the head & hand alone, work with the heart as well.I shared this background in order to say that, my life skills have served me more in my career journey across my expressions including leveraging Architecture. Life skills such as relational intelligence, people skills, leadership development, emotional intelligence, communication and presentation, resilience, goal setting amongst others. Check out some previous life skills I have trained on here http://youtube.com/abrahamowoseni
