Congrats to Biodun & his team at Helpmum.org on being selected for the Facebook community accelerator program. Proud to have seeded the development of the first company website and helped in mobilizing the very first outreach. *Cover of the brief Biodun(the founder) sent me below Initially declined to back him on a couple of other lower-potential concepts he pitched to me... ** (PS: **Chats are shared with necessary alignment for context) Including a coffee business & laboratory rats business Then he eventually came up with Helpmum after some back-and-forth ideation We scheduled a meeting which became a defining moment for Helpmum and the rest is history The startup has gone on to do amazing work in maternal health, getting a series of grants & recognitions along the way, including a recent $250k win from the Google Impact challenge The team continues to enjoy strategic business development support from us and we continue to cheer them on for more wins. *Biodun & Damo
