Well it’s been awhile. Last year I took time (the whole year) to be with my newly started family. We were lucky enough to welcome a son into the world in January, and we spent the year nesting and exploring with him. Now that 2022 has begun, my wife and I are back into our careers and the offspring is spending time at daycare making new friends.
What am I focusing on in 2022? Well, I’ve decided to take the next step and try build something of my own. I fell in love with the idea of voice and tech while I was in Cape Town and didn’t think text based messaging worked well. So now I’ve made the decision to build a voice tech product. At the moment, the idea is based around social audio. Think a clubhouse / whatsapp hybrid. I think there are several really interesting market segments for voice, and I’ll be exploring these as I build.
Keep checking here if you want updates on the business and what I learn as I go. I’m excited to be leaving the world of fintech and instead focus on social and B2C. Most of the value in my life comes from human connections, and building a product that encourages and enhances people’s digital connections is a dream.
