confession of the marketplaceman

I just refuse to fail were some folks with more than a million of dollars of early-stage failed like this. Far from developed countries, I was looking at the digital marketplace with a very passionate eye driven by science and knowledge. It was a period of 7 years or trials and errors, testing things, and ideas generation. A lot of my ideas were good for sure because a lot of them were executed to success by people from those developed countries sometime after I had them. I was working on finding innovative traction channels and found 3 tractions channels that allow me to reach more than 80 000 000 million persons and 3 000 0000 companies and startups almost for free. One of these tractions channels is very active while the second is passive. The third is more than a channel for traction because it embeds transaction leaks that allow me to know coming transactions and their values, the global value off annual transaction leakage that I can detect and address is worth more than 100 millions of dollars. I was even going to end this short post without telling that my trading research ended in 2015 when I discovered a volume-based and technology-driven strategy which is still exploitable. This strategy is this year 2020 enriched with one innovative financial network infrastructure to be built in Europe. This infrastructure could give me or my partners a definitive advantage for trading at the frankfurt stock exchange marketplace. But failure is still in scope for me and that’s what makes me move and believe.

I am just shaping my life with projects to be done and when I have the chance to wake up I just pick on of them and work on it making it move a bit further. I cannot leave them because they are me. I see global, I don't see local and don't ….. the fact that I live in Africa in a small town Dakar. I pitched the cloud to french companies years before it happens with Microsoft, Amazon … Why they had not understood me or were they just ….. Whatever I am just I

In my way, I learned that business is not only about numbers and spreadsheets it mainly about this
