    Founders' breakfast this Saturday at Yaba, 8am. ₦5,000 covers food. 30 seats, first come first served.

    AI reason: self-promotion without a tag, paid ticket.

    Tolu's appeal: "It's a members' breakfast we've run monthly for a year. Nobody profits; ₦5,000 is the caterer's price. I forgot the [EVENT] tag."

    Grand mission: 3 years

    Make attention worth something again.

    1. Year 1: 1,000 high-signal groups on Telegram and WhatsApp communities: founders, job boards, neighbourhood markets.
    2. Year 2: portable reputation: a member with 92 here skips the stake in groups that trust this one.
    3. Year 3: a stake layer any inbox, forum or comment section can turn on, so the cost of spam falls on spammers, not readers.
