As I was flying across the Atlantic to attend the SF Tech Week, I took time to reflect on how venture building seems easier when you have humans and human-designed support structures around you.

Today, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude as we celebrate the first anniversary of Luca. It has been an incredible journey, and I want to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation to everyone who has played a crucial role in our success.

To our esteemed investors, thank you for believing in our vision and providing the support we needed to turn it into a reality. Your faith in us has been instrumental in our growth and achievements.

To the exceptional team at Luca, you are the heart and soul of our company. Your unwavering dedication, talent, and hard work have been the driving force behind our accomplishments. I am grateful for each one of you and the unique contributions you bring to our organization.

To our valued partners and customers, thank you for collaborating with us and standing by our side as we navigated challenges and pursued new opportunities. Your trust and confidence in our products/services have been the driving force behind our growth and I am committed to continue empowering African small businesses with financial tools and infrastructure to grow their business.

To everyone who has cheered us on, provided guidance, and been there every step of the way, thank you. Your belief in Luca has been an incredible source of motivation and inspiration.

As we raise a toast to one year of achievements, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for the future. Together, we will continue to write the success story of Luca

Thank you once again for being part of our journey. Here’s to celebrating this milestone and to the many more milestones we will achieve together! 🥳
