Always just one. :smile:

I made the mistake in the early days of Woo to try kickstart another startup, Radiiate, and failed badly, because I didn’t have the mental or emotional capacity to do two startups at once.

Always try limit your dilution, but not to the extent that it prevents you from raising money. Creating a successful product should be your #1 consideration here.

RE: Freemium. I’d always pursue revenue & profitability first.

That’s true & I’m not a Africa expert.

My opinion definitely rings true for Cape Town though and I suspect that there’s other African cities for which this counts too.

Just do it. Start. :wink:

Nairobi definitely, not nearly as expensive as Lagos.

  1. Apologies to take you back to another WordPress theme related question, but I wondered what your thoughts are on initiatives like WP-API and it’s impact on the theming business.

  2. What wine would you recommend for a first-timer who wants to impress at a bring your own wine tasting event?

  1. I think anything that allows others to build on WordPress is generally a great idea. I haven’t dived into the technical bits of the API, but I think it’ll be interesting to see what products others will build on top of it.

  2. Anything that they’re passionate about and really enjoy. :wink:
