  UpSkale Teams

  Jan 2022 - now

  Founder

  Initial idea: "Upskale teams" - think of it as a StackOverflow for management, setting standard operating behaviors for growing startups aiming for operational excellence. I launched it in 2022. However, this wasn't my domain, and I wasn't inclined to develop within this industry.Africa"AfroUtopik," as I sought to reconnect with my African roots, I considered an NFT marketplace to fund African-owned businesses. But I realized I couldn't deeply connect with the challenges of this community.Social SkillsI delved into various other concepts, such as "share memories," a platform to gather memories from parties and share them effortlessly with your friends. But this lost relevance since I don't party anymore.ExecutionI invested considerable time exploring LLMs around self-development and goal-tracking tools, and wanted to create a step by step process to success. I wanted this formula for myself and I wanted to encapsulate it into a product. What became clear was that the journey might be straightforward, but it's far from easy. There's no silver bullet.MentoringI developed a ChatGPT wrapper for corporate finance to support students (I was one for 6 months) in obtaining a certificate. This was my first launched product this year, built in a week using Webflow, Bubble, then NextJs. It had real users, genuine feedback, and even an angry teacher upset that his book was sourced for content, and concerned about potential student confusion from hallucinations.Personal GrowthI dedicated extensive time focusing on goals, insights, and learnings. I wanted to harness one infinite resource: self-talk. Using speech-to-text and graph database technology, I developed a self-talk to insight tool in React Native.Self DiscoveryI wanted to analyze my self-talk across various dimensions to reveal who I am. This led me to create agents to assess text for values, skills, personality, and worldviews based on set ontologies, even generating biographies from the analyses. Voir moins
