Hi! I’m Chris, the founder of Stack Shift and Sourcing Sprints. We’re based in Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬 but work with founders hiring all over the world.

If you’re an early-stage startup founder looking for talent, book an intro call here. We operate very differently from most recruiting firms.

Writings

Background

• 💰 7 years in hardware VC at Bolt. First hire. Invested three funds ($3M → $32M → $82M) in ~70 early stage startups.
• 📚 Left VC in 2019 to take a ~1.5 year long learning sabbatical and return to emerging market entrepreneurship.

Offers

• Fundraising strategy + investor intros. I don't know that many angels but can help you think through how to fundraise and might be able to help you meet pre-seed / seed funds.

Asks

• Need recruiting help? If you’re an early-stage startup founder looking for talent, book an intro call here. We operate very differently from most recruiting firms.

Love to talk and think about

• Development theory / effective altruism. Here's a video I made on global inequality. Here's my basic theory of development along with some notes from books I've read. I’m excited about evidence-based interventions that reduce inequality and suffering like GiveDirectly and GiveWell.
• Self-directed education. Here’s a site I made on “Learning Sabbaticals”. Here’s the curriculum I created for my own learning sabbatical.
