BONNE NOUVELLE : La RDC sort de la liste grise du GAFI.
Depuis octobre 2022, le pays était « sous surveillance renforcée » pour des failles dans sa lutte contre le blanchiment d’argent et le financement du terrorisme.
Concrètement, cette sortie peut faciliter les transferts r, rassurer les banques et attirer des investisseurs. Mais ses effets arriveront progressivement.
👉 On vous explique tout.

La République démocratique du Congo, notre cher pays, vient d’être retirée de la liste grise de GAFI.
Je salue cette avancée majeure et félicite l’ensemble des institutions et structures qui se sont mobilisées afin d’atteindre cet objectif que nous nous étions fixés, conformément aux orientations du Chef de l’État, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, entre autres le Ministère de la Justice, le Ministère des Finances et la CENAREF.
Ce résultat renforce notre crédibilité financière et la confiance de nos partenaires.
J’appelle à poursuivre les réformes, à renforcer les mécanismes de lutte contre le blanchiment des capitaux et le financement du terrorisme, et à maintenir une vigilance permanente pour préserver durablement cet acquis.

Félicitations ! 🎉🇨🇩
A major milestone for the DRC under the leadership of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo!
The DRC’s removal from the FATF Grey List marks an important step toward strengthening confidence in its financial system and investment climate.
Following the October 26 joint meeting, the DRC reaffirms its sincere gratitude to the U.S. Treasury for its continued support and partnership.

Hosted founders building in renewable energy today. Really blown away by the amount of innovation in this space.
Energy is at the core of every productive economy.

Moving money across #Africa is one thing. Making it easier to do business across borders is another.
Today at #Moonshot2026, I'm discussing what it takes with Mike Ogbalu III (@papss_africa) and @ZinnyZulu (@234Finance).
11 AM at The Future of Money Stage. See you there!

The part that stood out to me in Niks podcast was this.
If capital is always a constraint. Founders need to solve access to capital by generating enough cashflows to fund their big bets.
Raising equity can’t always be a plan. I think it’s the most instructive part.

how can you out-compete the people who work 9 to 9, six days a week.
Revolut CEO Nik Storonsky: “The US is not that competitive. Europe is even less competitive.”
“China is competitive.”
“China is 9/9/6. Even if you are good in Europe, or in the US, how can you out-compete the people who work 9:00 to 9:00, six days a week?”
“I started in a 40 companies. Within 5 years, only 3 companies survived. They all worked on the weekends.”
“Within 10 years, only 2 companies survived out of 140.”
“Working weekends is a must if you want to survive. Purely statistically.”

In the end, these things are infinite games. Your lifespan and health is the ultimate runway you have as a founder.
In 2017, Monzo's founder called Revolut's FX and crypto a "1% niche problem".
Storonsky, on the same stage: Revolut opens 3,000 accounts a day, more than they do. Calling that a niche didn't add up.
What happened next:
1. FX was the wedge that won Revolut its first customers
uisition tool: standard users unlocked it by inviting 3 friends
3. By 2021, FX and Wealth were 55% of Revolut's revenue
Full breakdown here:

Storonsky looks like someone who can take more pain. If you can take pain, you can win, these games are hard.

Doesn’t work in Africa. Make profits o.
A startup isn't supposed to make money.
It's supposed to grow fast and maximize the odds of returning a multiple to its investors.
Once you take VC money, your job is to increase value, not generate profit. If a company in my portfolio is sitting on profits, I'm annoyed. That cash should be going back into growth.
If you own 100% of your company, do whatever you want with the profits. Pay yourself a dividend. Buy a boat. Your call.
With VC funding, it doesn't work that way. Dividends sometimes become acceptable after an IPO, long after anyone still calls the company a startup.
Profit isn't the goal, it's what's left when you've run out of better places to put the money.

Everything is hard. Nothing works the first time. It all feels pointless. That’s when you realize you’re going to have to will it into existence with every ounce of your fucking soul. And that’s when it starts to happen.

Host a handful of journalists, and they’ll prattle on endlessly about our dear tech ecosystem. Will they debate how the media business they work in is hanging on for dear life? Don’t hold your breath.
