The Open Library
Guides, tools and data from the work. Free, no email, no account.
Everything here came out of real work. These are the tools used with founders during real engagements, cleaned up and made general enough to stand alone.
Each exists somewhere in some form, scattered across paywalls and private drives and templates written for markets that behave differently. What has been missing is the set: in one place, in the order a founder actually needs it, tested where it will be used.
Grouped by what you are trying to do.
Find the activities that actually create value.
An archive of the data shaping Africa’s narrative.
Define a vision and test what it rests on.
Raise with a process instead of a scattergun.
Funds, angels, accelerators and incubators.
An investor-friendly snapshot of a company.
