Nigeria... Yes, it's big, ugly, dangerous, poor, too big, too hot, too rainy. And it's Africa's biggest country and economy, so the potential for startups and entrepreneurs is huge.
During our trip to Lagos to attend the Mobile West Africa 2014 conference, we listened to the speakers, met the key players of the local tech ecosystem, and were amazed, just like all the other emerging markets we explore, by the creativity, the will, and the startups we saw.
Take the trip with us to dive into Nigeria's startup scene. As usual, we love to look back in time to see what are the milestones explaining why the country is where it is today. Oddly enough, Nigeria has long been a very isolated country, with few exports else than natural resources.
Since Nollywood and the most creative movie industry of the continent, it's changing.
Despite the kilometric list of challenges the country is facing, a lot of spots and startups are to be discussed. Wecyclers, BudgIT are among the secret gems we discovered in Lagos, and for sure, there's more than that.
Secure Open Telephony Network Presentation at Hope 9Mark Belinsky
All of the necessary technologies and communications standards exist today for voice communications that are as secure as OpenPGP email. Both proprietary and open source solutions exist for desktop and mobile devices that implement the necessary bits to provide a solution without dependence upon one global service provider. ostel.me provides both a service and an application for the Android OS that is only marginally more complex to use than dialing an existing phone number, while still based entirely on open standards like SIP and ZRTP. The app is experimental and is based on existing open source client code provided by the CSipSimple, pjsip, and zrtp4pj projects.
In this study I have tried to conduct a technology forecast for the mobile industry. In order to do this we have developed and followed a ten steps methodology as follows;
First we started by defining the industry and determining the exact sub industry definition. Second we studied the history of mobile phones with special focus on the important milestones to determine the important inflection technology events which took the technology to the second level, or helped in diffusing the technology, or created a new trend or resulted in a technology disruption. Third we gone through an industry analysis phases in which we studied the market growth rate, market share of different players, identifying leaders, followers. Followed by studying the market dynamics and main trends from both producers and consumers. Producers revenue pyramid, current and future strategies have been included. Fourth we composed the industry PEST analysis followed by industry overall analysis using porter five forces model. Fifth, a study for the major technological trends have been conducted, resulted in identifying main important industry trends. For each of the identified industry trend, we have identified the main technological challenges based on the consumer pull demand and the technology implication of each. Sixth, we constructed our technology future wheel based on all the previously mentioned types of analysis, resulted in identifying the main technology subcomponents. Seventh, we gone through a structural analysis followed by cross impact analysis for those subcomponents. Eights, a relevance tree for all those subcomponents including different technological alternative for each have been constructed. Followed by an analysis based on experts opinion about existing diffusion rate for each of those technology alternatives. Ninth, a road map for the forecasted technologies have been compiled, followed a wild card listing for alternative technologies which may exist in the near or far future, even technologies which in research and we believe that it is extremely wild have been included. Tenth, a conclusion of our forecasted short and terms technologies landscape have been composed and presented.

SCALETECH 2022: What Scaling $300M Startups Taught me about Scaling $300M MoviesJon Gosier
Jon Gosier's slides from a presentation given at Scaletech 2022 in Toronto, Canada on 10/13/2022.
Prior to FilmHedge, a fin-tech that has changed the way major Film and TV projects are financed, Jon founded programmatic advertising company Audigent which now dominates the 1st-party entertainment space.
Using 6 films (and one song) as an example, here are my tips for scaling from startup to growth-stage:
1. Zack and Miri - Vet your co-founder based on you mutual interest and obsessiveness at solving a problem
2. Suicide Squad - hire to compliment your weaknesses as a Founder
3. The Expendables - know when to cut your losses with a bad hire or someone in the wrong role
4. Moneyball - track everything, define KPIs (not just for the big obvious stuff), milestones are just KPIs over time, KPIs keep your team focused
5. The French Dispatch - your company's relationship with the press will change as you grow, use the press to help re-educate the market and change behavior
6. "Know When to Hold em/Fold em" - know when to get out of your own way as a Founder, to build something bigger than yourself (by definition) sometimes you don't even need to be there anymore (graduate as a founder).
7. Avengers: Endgame - know your 'endgame'. re you building for lifestyle, legacy, or a liquidity event/exit?
My talk from Marketing Analytics and Data Science 2018 on April 11. A talk illustrating how audience/fan/user meta data is being used by executives in music and sports.
Do recording artists pick-up on emerging audience trends or do audiences follow artist trends? The answer is a bit of both. In this talk data scientist Jonathan Gosier shares methods on how the music industry is learning to apply data science to music listening audiences to boost revenue, maximize reach and improve engagement.
This presentation is about how to design technologies and business models that yield better incomes for society, reduce risk, and, as a result, maximize value.

Predicting Macroeconomic Trends Through Real-Time Mobile Data Collection [Pa...Jon Gosier
This paper outlines a study conducted in Mombasa, Kenya where real-time consumer data collection techniques (also known as known as big data, real-time data, crowdsourced data or open source data) were used to prove or disprove hypothesis about macroeconomic trends. It concludes that there are many reasons to feel confident that these techniques may serve as sufficient alternatives for economic forecasts in countries where traditional means of microeconomic data collection are sparse due to poor infrastructure and other circumstance. Further research is needed to verify the repeatability of these findings and the methods soundness statistically.

Using Predictive Analytics for Anticipatory Investigation and InterventionJon Gosier
The proliferation and adoption of data, sensors, mobile phones and social media technology present new ways of capturing conversations surrounding events in real-time. There is high demand for products that allow law enforcement and criminal investigators and others to explore events by monitoring many transmedia sources (social media sources like Facebook and Twitter, photos, news sources, and tweets) and relating that activity to historic data sets like neighborhood maps, crime databases and other digital records.

Using a combination of the data-analysis products available from D8A Group, we’ve been monitoring the unfolding events in real-time to illustrate the ways our technology platforms can be used by companies, PR firms, marketing agencies, political groups, celebrities, and NGOs to make data informed decisions in real-time crisis scenarios.
In this case study document, we analyze breaking news scenarios involving Chris Christie's Brigegate scandal, Kerry Washington's appearance at the Golden Globes, and the Knight Foundation who we weren't aware had any news events at the time, but we quickly became aware of two through the use of our software.
The primary purpose of using technologies like the D8A suite of analytic products is to monitor and capture real-time data for analysis and research. They are also predictive, helping to surface trends, patterns, and happenings before one might find out about them otherwise. D8A’s products work across multiple communication channels.
Data-Driven Crisis Monitoring: Turning Online Activity into Actionable Insigh...Jon Gosier
The proliferation and adoption of mobile phones and social media technologies presents new ways of capturing conversations surrounding crisis events in real-time. This allows researchers, analysts, and first-responders to explore events by monitoring many media sources (blogs, photos, web feeds, news sources, and tweets) from one environment.
The tragic situation unfolding in South Sudan is complex and evolving rapidly. The rate at which the fledgling state has descended into political and social unrest is distressing and highlights the need for urgent intervention. Thus, having ways to identify and engage influencers and to anticipate and potentially mitigate disastrous scenarios is greatly needed.
Using a combination of the data-analysis products available from D8A Group, we’ve been monitoring the unfolding events in real-time to illustrate ways our technology platforms can be used by NGOs, first-responders, civil society organizations and government agencies make data informed decisions in real-time in crisis scenarios.

One of the most intimidating things about being an entrepreneur or founder of an organization can be the first steps of incorporating and legally structuring things.
The good thing to note is that if you make a mistake at the beginning, its almost always addressable down the road (but it can require a lot of time or significant cost).
What's the best legal structure for your social enterprise? Why do these different models exist?
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
