Series H?😂 God let me not die in Sangotedo.
We've raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by @AltimeterCap, Dragoneer, @Greenoaks, and @sequoia. This investment will help us advance our research and expand our capacity to meet growing demand for Claude.
I have followed with rapt attention the discourse that followed my conversation at the Platform Nigeria on May Day. The stark reality is this - opportunities are few and far between, unemployment/underemployment is high and sadly there are too few employers for a huge market such as ours, at least when compared to other markets such as China, India that have similar youth bulge. We Nigerians are some of the most hardworking and gritty people in the world. But we must tell ourselves the truth. Nigeria currently doesn’t have enough highly skilled technical talent resident in Nigeria to build companies that can scale globally. Interestingly, I have also read a lot of employers double down and agree with my current diagnosis around our country’s technical talent pipeline gap and confirmed it is true. Former Minister, Kemi Adeosun also referenced Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote comments around finding the right quality and quantity of talents for his refinery project. Let me ask a hard question - can we say that Nigeria has enough highly skilled technical talent still resident in Nigeria? That's a huge conundrum that any organization that wants to maintain market leadership must solve for. How many engineering executives do we have remaining in Nigeria that lead a payments team that handles payments infrastructure processing tens millions of transactions daily without fail? How many senior data scientists do we have in Nigeria that can create data models to appraise millions of customers while managing prudent NPLs? How many senior growth executives in Nigeria have the experience of growing a digital apps towards acquiring 80k customers a day through digital and offline channels while maintaining prudent CACs? It is important to note that this is not about Nigerians generally, this is about senior Nigerian talents still resident in Nigeria. Nigeria is not producing enough high quality senior technical talent and the little we have are emigrating. I can explain these to be that Nigeria does not have too many feeder industries across the board. As such, there are fewer starter companies that young talent can come from to feed into senior roles in other companies. Every one then ends up fighting for the same pool of senior leaders that have experience and bandwidth to deliver and win in the market. The effect of the Japa wave has been very well chronicled and I must add that this has been a trans-generational challenge. Remember that time in the early 80s where a lot of our medical professionals left for places like Saudi and the UAE? As at March 2024, Nigeria had lost around 16,000 medical doctors to other countries, most especially the US and the UK. The quality of technical education is also falling as our standard of education is lagging behind global counterparts. Can we say we have enough senior technical talent in Nigeria to compete with global competition especially China? But Moniepoint, Dangote, Flutterwave, LemFi are competing with them. Training young talents can fill the gap for the future but is inadequate for today. Companies need senior talent and cannot wait the eight to ten years needed to get them to senior levels to compete. In training young talent, Moniepoint has seen a lot of bright spots through our various interventions that are aimed at deepening the talent pool. So we are indeed doing something about improving talent density for the ecosystem. Through our DreamDevs programme, which is in its second year, we're training talented young engineering graduates with the skills they need to enter the workforce as top talent. We have supported the government's 3MTT agenda as well as a partnership with Unilag’s NITHUB to push the HatchDev initiative. Our Women in Tech internship programme, which now in its sixth year, provides women with the access, training and opportunities they need to build careers in tech. I also personally have a scholarship program for STEM students across select Nigerian universities in every geo-political zone. Competing globally also means that you spend top dollars to retain top Nigerian talents that you have nurtured. We routinely retain Nigerians that emigrate and pay them according to their local market standards. A recent example is an exceptional first class graduate we nurtured through our women in Tech program and had to go to school just as a path to emigrate and we had to retain abroad and offer an alternative naturalization path for her. Moniepoint has over 3,500 full time employees with over 90% Nigerian talents, and we’re growing 20% YoY. We’d love a world where this is at 99% while building for the world. Self deception isn’t a virtue and we must tell ourselves the home truth - we need to raise the quantity and quality of our technical talents resident in Nigeria to compete. No organization can rise above the quality of its output and execution is everything in this game. Nigeria will be great. Let’s all do the work together. By the way, top tech talents still resident in Nigeria, we need you badly. We pay above market rates and you will make real impact. Please apply here: moniepoint.com/careers For top Nigerian talents out of the country, we hire out of the UK, Portugal, Spain, India and Pakistan. Also apply, we are building digital banking infrastructure that provides financial happiness for emerging markets.
All I see is brain drain. Why can’t Nigeria provide just as good and environment for these lost engineers? We still have a nation to build
Really glad to see many "Nigerian educated" engineers getting international software jobs. And it will increase exponentially. The veil covering our talents & potentials has been removed and the world will now see Nigeria as a top destination for super-star Engineering Talents!
In collaboration with @github, @Microsoft, @npmjs, and @SocketSecurity, our security team has confirmed that no npm packages published by Vercel have been compromised. There is no evidence of tampering, and we believe the supply chain remains safe. vercel.com/kb/bulletin/ve…
scene in the Vercel office right now 😭
VERCEL just got breached. They’re selling internal DB + employee accounts + GitHub/NPM tokens for $2M on BreachForums. looks like someone got early access to Claude Mythos 💀
We’ve identified a security incident that involved unauthorized access to certain internal Vercel systems, impacting a limited subset of customers. Please see our security bulletin: vercel.com/kb/bulletin/ve…
Let me explain what’s happening. In late March 2026, Anthropic publicly hinted that one of their internal frontier models, called Claude Mythos, showed advanced offensive cybersecurity capabilities, including autonomous vulnerability discovery and exploit generation. Because of this, they stated that rollout would be tightly controlled under staged access and safety evaluations. Over the past two weeks, we’ve seen a significant increase in platform hacks, from Web3 platforms to government infrastructure to legacy platforms. And here’s the reason: Hacks have been happening before, they’re not new, and automation and repeated attacks are not new either. But you know what’s new? Intelligent automation. Automation that doesn’t just work with a checklist and repeated patterns, but can actually create a sandbox and try multiple attack strategies in an isolated environment repeatedly, then identify where the vulnerability is and use all the knowledge on the internet to figure out how to exploit it. Automated attacks used to follow a blueprint, but now it’s different. There’s no fixed blueprint. You can infuse AI into a hacking process multiple times and get different results. And these tools have a mind of their own. Over the next few months, we will be seeing a lot of news like this. It doesn’t mean these platforms are not safe, it just means AI is moving faster than anyone can adapt, and now we all have to 10x our processes. We live in a new world. On vercel’s issue? They’ve announced that only a few users were affected and released a process to support all users and better increase their hosted platforms.
