Love the honesty of this article — the myth of inevitable, linear entrepreneurial success can be incredibly toxic.

Just work harder, or “keep failing fast and try again” is not necessarily always a helpful answer and its great to see you’re mindful of this.

More positively, I’m sure whatever you do next (tech or not) you’ll be significantly better equipped for it.

It looks like you have an amazing community behind you and you’ve even managed to provoke a response from an ordinarily sceptical stranger from the UK.

As an aside, I’m very excited about the continually growing entrepreneurship culture in Sub-Saharan African having lived in Rwanda several years ago and setting up the African Innovation Prize (http://www.africaninnovationprize.org/).

Drop me a note if you’d like to chat,
