Hello Reader,
How are you doing? I hope you're fine.
This week I made some minor tweaks to the structure of the newsletter so that I can go into more detail about certain areas. Let me know what you think

I saw this graph earlier in the week and I thought it was interesting. Looking at the graph, 2 things are clear; High-income countries are reducing the number of bank branches rapidly while lower-middle-income countries seem to be increasing the the number of bank branches they have. I'm not going to go into details but it's important to note that both trends are happening due to socio-economic reasons.

āAlexis Ohanian shared a video of him and Sam Altman talking about how AI can help people build unicorns (businesses worth at least 1 Billion dollars) with a team as small as 10 people or even just 1 person. Sounds shocking right? Especially when you consider that the average unicorn today has hundreds of staff.
I strongly agree with Sam and I believe it's just a matter of time before it happens. I started thinking of industries where this is most likely to happen and this is what I think:
There are a lot of other sectors that a 10-person team unicorn could be created in. I'm excited to see how it goes.

#2 - How many rabbits does it take to validate an idea? Hello Reader, It has been quiet. I haven't written one of these in a while... Mostly because I've been busy with life things.

#1 - 5 ways to build apps without writing code Hello Reader, This is the first edition of the newsletter *yaayy!* and I'm starting with a topic I first became interested in about 2 years ago. I realized that it was crazy for people to have great ideas for tech products but not be able to explore there because they can't write code... So I wrote this to help people bring their ideas to life without coding. I hope you enjoy it. "An idea that is developed and put into action is more important...
