He holds a JD from Harvard Law School. He is a co-pioneer in many legal-tech ordinances. He has written many briefs on Commercial Space Law, a fledgling new domain in market systems.

Memme Onwudiwe , the Executive Vice President at U.S.-based Evisort Inc, is one of those young men you have read in New York Times, Washington Post, etc who created AI systems that “help companies organize, understand, and extract data from their contracts”. The “Google for contract management” is a powerhouse startup founded by MIT engineers and Harvard law graduates; they have raised $35 million.

Memme will be at Tekedia Live to discuss AI in Legal and Africa. I have two questions already: can Legal AI help Africa to reduce the delays in our legal system, and how can AI help companies determine the probability of winning cases, assuming a fair legal system? I know that our learners will have better questions.

Tekedia Institute Mini-MBA >> learn from the best.

Good People, I signed a term sheet yesterday . We invested in a very brilliant startup in Lagos. The founding team had built and EXITED two companies at $$millions. They built a transportation startup and sold it. They built another in the domain of recruitment and sold it to a foreign company. They understand value creation and value capture in West Africa. As double-crown innovators, I am extremely excited on our new journey.

Because all our pipelines are now exclusive to Tekedia Capital members, I do not reveal companies we take positions.  Yes, I do not want to make them very popular until my members have checked them! (Tekedia Capital Syndicate members, reach out and I will share the business.)

Meanwhile, Tekedia Capital continues to search for the next winners across the world. We invest in companies in any geography provided the majority of your operations are happening in continental Africa. So, you can be UK, US, India, Nigeria, etc but the business core mission must be played in Africa.

We think Africa is the best place to do business and CAPTURE the highest possible value for investors! Yes, if most things are broken, fixing them will deliver ALPHA!

We provide many things including world-class business sagacity (I went to school people!!!), networks, etc. And $25,000 Amazon AWS credit.

Of course, we welcome new members at Tekedia Capital Syndicate (click and join): new circle is about starting.

Good People, please join me to thank Dr. MKO Balogun. He has a new passion now, and that is paying for your young people to attend our programs. It is a very magical experience for that level of generosity and kindness. From all of us at Tekedia Institute, we want to thank Dr Balogun for funding the future.

In our program, we have demonstrated one thing: Nigerians and Africans are just as generous as any group of people. We remain focused to justify this confidence all of you have put on us by sending people via scholarships to attend Tekedia Institute programs.

Thank you.

It is the best academic festival in town. You are invited. Register for any of Tekedia Institute’s programs and advance your career and mission. Go here and pick your choice .

The Good People of Abia State, I am happy to announce that I have accepted the invitation of our Governor, His Excellency Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, to deliver the major moment for this year’s Abia Diaspora Day. We are Abia people and we no dey carry last, and that means we need to build up that city. Those mansions in Abariba, Ohafia, Bende, Arochukwu, Ngwa, Ovim, etc must translate to factories in Aba, Umuahia and our cities.

I lead by example: all my companies in Nigeria are registered in Abia and we pay VAT via FIRS to Abia state.  Lagos, Abuja, PHC are fine but Abia needs help – and I want you to know that. Mark the date and let’s go, and build God’s Own State.

Chineke oma gozie gi [May the good Lord bless you].
