Hi Koen, not to my knowledge. Although the idea is based on Spearhead, which was a real fund, backing real founders (https://spearhead.co/). The Spearhead thesis was that founder have deep market knowledge but many capable founders aren't liquid (yet!). I think that even more true in markets like Africa where I spent my entrepreneurial career. Let me know if you see anything interesting related to this idea!
Yes absolutely, I think it's true in many markets actually
Did anybody end up trying this?
