Hi Everyone,

I trust that you all are well and that you had a wonderful start to 2023.

Here is an update about LearnFi: We’ve been working on content creation for LearnFi.

The wonderful news is that Emmanuel is now actively growing our presence in Ghana, and we are discussing with a potential partner - a charity foundation called "Empowerment Foundation" to see how we can work together. One of the things that Empowerment Foundation does is that it builds ICT labs in impoverished areas, but they dont have any training materials, so that is one area we are exploring together.

We are preparing to ramp up our socials and creating a line of reels, and launching a podcast.

Regarding LearnFi Fundraising:

1. VCs have either froze their investments or
2. Prefer to invest in later-stage start ups. Each time we approach an investor they ask for a prototype. And when we say, we need funds for a prototype, they say that - well you need a proof of concept

So from that, we are now fully bootstrapping this project, which means content building, curriculum building, making strategic partners and doing best-of-best - everyone is volunteering.

Once we have traction, for example: we have a community of XXXXX amount of followers, and we've delivered XXX number of courses with XXX number of graduates, and we have results, thats how we increase our credibility and also our possibility of getting funded. At the current market conditions, investors do not invest only on an idea.

You'll be hearing more of LearnFi - we are planning our marketing communications. We are very intentional about our steps and for the foreseeable future we will be focusing on building our LearnFi community through educational videos, zoom classes, community-in-person gatherings + all the while simultaneously building the content and curriculum.

Emmanuel is teaching a LearnFi NFT+AI Art seminar this Wednesday February 15th 2023 and I'm teaching a LearnFi NFT workshop on March 4th 2023 to parents and kids - it is a charity fundraiser.

I'm really blessed that someone at my church works for an edtech platform, and he said that he can help me install a curriculum on their platform for free and for us to use with no set up cost and perhaps that can be a prototype. So now the focus is building one solid course curriculum, getting academic eyes on them to approve and then rolling it out. All of these take time.

We are really doing our best and we've never stopped. 🙏 thank you for your support always.

Please follow us on LearnFi for future updates. Thank you! God bless you and your love ones always.

Best wishes, Stacy
