| 1638173958351761408 | If this is NOT a wake-up call for #Ethiopia , I don't know what is @ICTET @MikeEndale @iceaddis @eweket @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh https://t.co/zahncq4xmh | 4 |
| 1640400019856539655 | A three day boot camp by @iceaddis has kicked off today. Key takeaways from today’s session 👇 1/ E-commerce in Ethiopia is growing by 18% every year. This is a crystal ball about what's coming. The sooner we get into it, the better learning curve we get. https://t.co/r47PBFAGFE | 3 |
| 1638449492188975106 | @SamRosmarin @ICTET @eweket @MikeEndale @iceaddis @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh Like @SamRosmarin said, unless you invest and incubate the startups at an angle and pre seed level, we have nothing to invest in later. Simple | 1 |
| 1638484668633710592 | @al_shiferaw @addisale @IgniteInvest @ICTET @MikeEndale @iceaddis @eweket @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh Yes DELETE is the missing key in 🇪🇹 bureaucracy. I used to think bad policies had defenders but reality is: no one has a coherent argument for them! Harmful legacy regulations are just there, because there is a shortage of the wisdom to question them and the skill to delete them. | 1 |
| 1638391077622235139 | @IgniteInvest @ICTET @MikeEndale @iceaddis @eweket @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh Agree, #1 policy change is needed on the investment law to allow less than 150K investment in local startups. #2 Tax incentives for local angle/Pre-seed investors to encourage locals/Diaspora to venture in...I'll let others chime in on the rest @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise | 1 |
| 1638455469042724866 | @SamRosmarin @addisale @eweket @MikeEndale @iceaddis @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh We are working on a white paper to connect digital and manufacturing. Which is coming out of this round table- https://t.co/f7bVmWbnKa other prior work. Getting different stakeholders on one page and listening to each other is no mean task. Specially in ET. | 1 |
| 1638438998560448512 | @addisale @eweket @MikeEndale @iceaddis @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh Important consideration to look into. If you look closely, what drives the VC figures in other markets on the report happens to be few large deals. Also worth looking into the perception about profit repatriation from ET vs size of ticket as a more contributing factor. | 0 |
| 1638448152855433216 | @ICTET @addisale @eweket @MikeEndale @iceaddis @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh Certainly. But this helps chip away at the problem and it seems like the approach most used is wishing for a (different) silver bullet. | 0 |
| 1638447705499262976 | @SamRosmarin @addisale @eweket @MikeEndale @iceaddis @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh May be. Main point is there is no silver bullet. It takes thoughtful actions by many different actors to grow economies sustainably. | 0 |
| 1638446752276652032 | @ICTET @addisale @eweket @MikeEndale @iceaddis @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh Yes but a lot of us would argue that the way to get those big deals is to properly incubate companies through small ticket Angel investments. | 0 |

Why $150K? What evil would occur if someone wanted to invest $149K? Why any minimum at all? Solution is not yet another stupid commission or committee or proclamation or whatever. Just delete these idiotic laws. | 13 |

| 1638437337179860994 | @addisale @eweket @MikeEndale @iceaddis @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh Ethiopia is currently at #21 on this list. #20 is not ambitious enough. More work is needed exposing and preparing Ethiopian startups for the VC industry. Often however also, data on Ethiopia is under-reported. https://t.co/5mz9Jc0bRy. | 3 |

Startups need support, SMEs need support, risk investing should be made easier. We need to attract investment. | 2 |
| 1638234978340184073 | @eweket @ICTET @MikeEndale @iceaddis @Mered_Pragma @Hilinazenebe @HenokPrecise @Zemedeneh I'll be happy with #20 out of #54 | 2 |

Particularly important when there is a legacy of serious design flaws. 🇪🇹 bureaucracy needs skilled pragmatic & courageous reformers to DELETE. | 2 |
