In 2016, I and a friend conceived of the idea to launch a cryptocurrency based startup called clyk,io in the mold of Iconomi and Ethereum - during the ICO wave from 2015 -2016 . We were caught flat-footed , when the crypto bubble of 2016 burst at the start of the year. Our next iteration was/is oppstack.com, a use-case centric platform. Slack was the rallying point for our early efforts in 2016-2017. From our base in Nigeria , we were able to gather a truly international team with contributions that transcended national boundaries and cultural spaces.
