Journal

Hi there,

My name is Likhwa and I'm a an African tech startup founder. I am working on building my own startup and I figured it would be a great idea to document my journey. I'm doing this mainly because when I started, I really didn't know where to find inside information on the startup journey i.e. the challenges, processes and so on. So I hope this will help someone.

This is my personal journal where I share my thoughts, opinions and progress as well as my hopes and aspirations as I build my startup. It's not meant to be a guide, just some insights into the mindset of an entrepreneur. I'm not speaking as an expert, but more as just a man pursuing his dream. As you will soon realize, I'm still finding my way and I know I still have a lot to learn. However I hope my bumps, bruises and victories will become the lessons that will keep someone going. Enjoy

I soon realised I could actually create a “real” app from scratch and make money. See, some years earlier I had downloaded Android studio and done a few lessons on programming. So I had a basic understanding of Java and android programming, but this new app that I had found, used simple drag and drop features and you could actually run the app on your device or send your app to friends in just a few clicks. I was not a professional programmer but using this app I could easily create “proper” mobile apps without cracking my head over code. You can check out my app made using Sketchware; Business Builder- Small Business Management Suite here . Fast forward to a few months later and I had created an app that I felt was ready for the big leagues… Play Store baby!! Note, that I was at a low point f...
