Another day, another business tip. 💡

Many founders and MSMEs charge too little because they are scared to lose customers. But low prices can hurt your business more than a few "no" answers.

Ask yourself what result your customer gets from working with you. Then price for that result, and make sure it covers your costs and your time.

What is one thing you charge for that you think is too low? Tell us in the comments.

Follow Edfrica for more business tips every day.

A strong team isn't built by putting people who think exactly the same in the room.

Different experiences bring different perspectives, questions and ways of solving problems. And that diversity can lead to better conversations, better decisions and stronger businesses.

As Ibukun Awosika puts it, you need people who can see things differently.

Because sometimes, the perspective your team is missing is the one that helps you see the problem differently.

Peace is bigger than the absence of conflict.

For businesses and communities to thrive, people need stability, trust, opportunity and the ability to work together.

This year’s International Day of Peace theme is “Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day.”

Because peace creates the conditions for people to learn, build, create and grow.

Hiring is an important step in growing a business, but adding people without clearly defining their roles can create more confusion than progress.

Before bringing someone onto your team, be clear about:

• What needs to be done
• Who is responsible for it
• What you expect from the role
• How their work fits into the bigger picture

Good teams don't just have more people. They have clarity.

Adenike Ogunlesi said something every business owner needs to hear: know your strengths and weaknesses, and don't be too proud to work with a consultant.

That's not weakness, that's strategy. The businesses that last are the ones that know what they're good at and get help with the rest.

Not sure where your business is falling short? Contact us at Edfrica and we'll help you fill those gaps.

African tech is getting more money again, $597M in the first 3 months of 2026 alone. Sounds like great news, right?

Here's the catch: only $49M of that, just 8.2%, went to startups led by women. That's a huge drop from last year.

Even though more women are starting businesses in tech, they're getting less funding to grow them. Especially the small early loans and investments new founders usually start with, those are drying up fastest.

More money is coming into the space. Less of it is reaching women. We break down why in our latest piece, link in bio to read it on edfricamedia.com.

African startups raised $438M in August, one of the strongest months this year. But $250M of that, more than half, went to a single company: Moove's Series C round.

Take out the top 3 deals and everyone else raised less than $100M combined.

Big numbers make big headlines. But for most founders on the ground, the real funding environment looks a lot tighter than this headline suggests.

We broke it all down, what it means, and why it matters if you're building something right now. Link in bio to read the full piece on edfricamedia.com.

Happy new week!

Starting Monday with Vusi Thembekwayo talking about self discipline. It's the one thing that decides whether your goals stay goals or actually turn into something.

Discipline over motivation, every time. Motivation fades by Wednesday. Discipline is what keeps you showing up anyway.

New week, new chance to hit the ground running.
