By 2035 Africa will have more 20-year-olds than the rest of the world combined
Almost none of them will ever get in front of a company that would pay them because the bar is so high
But here's the thing
Some of these talent has the potential to become those superstar A-players that EVERY business owner wants on their side
But everyone is chasing those same people
We're flipping the question and question the conventional "truth" that stuff like work ethic, attitude and culture are set in stone
We're scouting for raw potential
Then we take the time to build the right mindset, work ethic, whilst thinking proactively about culture (what type of work culture are they gravitating towards and how do we polish the edges so they become the perfect cultural fit for companies with that culture?)
Football worked this out decades ago. Scout kids early. Train them hard. Loan them out where they get real minutes. Sign them properly once they're ready.
We copied that model at @DirectEdDev / tison.io
So if you're a solo founder who needs a dev team now and wants to bring it in-house later, that's the loan deal.
They play for you first, while we underwrite them and guarantee the outcomes.
You sign them when they've earned your trust
