“It's not about the ambition of the startups or the startup founders. It's about the systems available in the ecosystem. So if you don't have those support systems, you fall straight to the ground. So what I decided to do was focus more on building those systems to actually help more and more founders and startups have a greater chance.” — Victor Asemota, Getting2Alpha

“The simple things are the most successful in Africa. The things that are mundane, somebody will not look at savings as anything vitally important. Well, savings is a very, very big deal. PiggyVest in Nigeria is one of the most successful and the biggest startups in Nigeria because they just help people to save money and nothing else. You shouldn't build Swiss Army knives. Build the simplest possible solution for the simplest problems and you'll be amazed at how successful you'll become.” — Victor Asemota, Getting2Alpha

“People tend to want to build for investors and what the investors think is right, rather than finding a way to actually convince people that that's actually the best thing to build. There's a whole lot of 'me too', everybody's trying to do what the other person has done. Too many copycats and very, very little originality. And there are so many problems still left to be solved.” — Victor Asemota, Getting2Alpha
