Generationship - Ep. #44, Why Unikernels Are Cool with Felipe Huici of Unikraft

Episode overview:
April Long spent two years fighting reality. The co-founder and CEO of "Afro-Asia Cross-border payment infrastructure" startup Pyxis was so determined to serve Africa's small merchants - the "bottom of the pyramid" she'd read about in Harvard Business Review - that she nearly bankrupted her fintech ignoring the bulk traders actually driving Africa-China trade.

In conversation with Andile Masuku, Long delivers uncomfortable truths about impact theatre versus impact reality. Her journey from receiving President Xi Jinping in Tanzania at 23 to finally accepting who actually moves goods between Africa and China at 35 offers a masterclass in entrepreneurial humility.

Key insights:
-On impact delusions: "I used to defend, I was like, 'No, no, no, no, no. It's that you don't get to this market.'" Long admits she lived in a bubble, desperately wanting to believe SMEs were ready for direct China trade. The truth? "90% of African trade is still happening in a more traditional way" - through the aggregators she'd dismissed as insufficiently mission-driven.

- On the cost of stubbornness: Despite zero demand after six months embedded in Nairobi's wholesale markets, Long refused to pivot. "I was quite stubborn. I was like, no, we have to work with SMEs." The result: burning 90% of her time on unprofitable small traders whilst the 10% spent on bulk traders kept her company alive.

- On acceptance as strategy: "The future is not here yet. And we need to build the future by serving who is there currently." Long's breakthrough came from accepting that Chinese trading companies scaling from $0 to IPO in a decade were the real infrastructure of Africa-China trade - not the romantic vision of empowered individual merchants.

- On being un-fundable forcing clarity: Without millions to burn on market education, Long had to face reality faster than her funded competitors. "I'm grateful I didn't have money to burn, or else I could have burned myself."

Notable moments:
1. The marketplace wake-up call: Walking through Nairobi's famous Gikomba market as a Chinese woman, traders shouted "China, China, what are you selling?" They wanted products, not payment rails. Long built the wrong solution for the right market.

2. The Eric Simanis paradox: The same Harvard Business Review article that inspired her Africa move warned against oversimplifying "bottom of pyramid" markets. Long spent years learning what she'd initially misread.

3. The three Aprils: Long describes fragmenting into Chinese April, Western April, and African April - "these narratives are so vastly different" that keeping them separate became exhausting. Building Pyxis became about reconciling these selves.

The aggregator revelation:
Long's former Standard Chartered clients - the Chinese trading companies she'd tried to convince to take loans in 2015 - transformed from traders to manufacturers to near-IPO giants in under a decade. They were the real story of Africa-China trade, moving containers whilst she chased individual merchants moving parcels.

"These Chinese trading companies making impacts in Africa, making products super affordable... because of the storytelling, they are not recognised." Her role shifted from trying to bypass them to helping them operate more efficiently.

The present tense:
Long's current focus on settlement infrastructure for bulk traders isn't the sexy SME empowerment story she'd imagined. But with a 12-person team across four countries and actual revenue, she's building what the market needs today whilst preparing for the SME future she still believes will come.

Produced by Foundersuite (for startups: www.foundersuite.com) and Fundingstack (for VCs: www.fundingstack.com), "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders and investors who have raised capital.

This episode is with with Mark Phillips of 11 Tribes, an early stage VC fund that invests in the care and resilience of its founders.

11 Tribes most recently raised a $46 million for Fund II from 220 HNW investors and Family Offices.  That follows a Fund I that was $11 million and largely sourced from around 80 HNW LPs.

Today, we're joined by Camila Vieira, a Partner at QED Investors focused on Latin America. Camila brings a wealth of experience to our conversation, having established herself as one of the region's most influential fintech investors.

Camila joined QED in 2022 as the company's first employee based in São Paulo, Brazil, where she focuses on early stage investments. As an investor and operator with experience working across different regions, she brings a well-rounded perspective to the table, connecting founders and startups to valuable resources while leveraging QED's deep fintech expertise.

Prior to joining QED, Camila built her career at the intersection of technology and financial services. She started at Moody's, a credit rating agency, before joining Goldman Sachs to focus on corporate credit and economic risk. Later, as part of Goldman's investment banking division, she helped fintech, software, and e-commerce companies raise capital and navigate the transition from private to public markets.

She went on to join the global strategy and corporate development teams at Ceridian, a global software company servicing more than 160 countries. More recently, Camila spent time at Hotmart, a Brazilian tech unicorn whose platform facilitates sales of digital products, enabling creators to build, monetize, manage, and grow globally. There, she led strategy and operations, ESG, and investor relations.

Today, we'll explore the dynamic Brazilian fintech ecosystem, discuss cross-border investment opportunities, and uncover lessons that US investors and financial professionals can apply when looking to diversify their portfolios into these high-growth regions.

Host Gary J. Ross talks with Chris Harvey, Managing Partner at Harvey Esquire and a prolific LinkedIn contributor, about three bipartisan bills pending in Congress that could reshape the VC ecosystem: the Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act (HR 3339), which would create an exam-based path to accredited investor status; the Improving Capital Allocation for Newcomers Act (HR 4431), which would raise Section 3(c)(1) fund limits to 500 investors and $50 million; and the Venture Capital Advisor Flexibility Act (HR 4429), which would increase the allowable percentage of secondaries and fund-of-funds investments for exempt reporting advisers.

Episode #109 — Vincent Deluard: Fiscal Dominance, Inflation Waves & the Future of the U.S. Economy

In this episode, host Sheamus McGovern is joined by Lake Dai (Founder, Sancus Ventures; AI Professor, Carnegie Mellon University) to unpack how venture capital invests in AI startups, what founders need to know, and how individuals with less capital can still participate meaningfully. Together they explore the shifting AI ecosystem—from model‑builders to tool‑builders—what VCs look for in teams, and how energy and infrastructure will soon become critical bottlenecks. Lake also shares her startup idea rooted in gamified simulation for workforce retraining and life‑skills development.

Key Topics Covered:
- What VCs are really looking for: signals, spending patterns from major foundation model firms, and how that drives investment strategy.
- The transition from “one or two foundation models” to a diverse array of open‑source tools and the implications for startup builders.
- Why choosing the right tools is one thing—but choosing where you drive them (i.e., product‑market fit + customer value) is the competitive advantage.
- How energy inefficiencies and infrastructure constraints (compute, cooling, power) are emerging as AI bottlenecks and investment opportunities.
- How solo founders or small teams can still add value to startups (e.g., as advisors/operators) and what boundaries and commitments matter.
- The importance of building your early team—whether co‑founders or advisors—with the same care you would in selecting a partner for life.
- Lake’s personal startup idea: a gamified simulation environment to train people in different roles and life skills, making learning fun and highly personal.
- Advice for younger listeners and first‑time investors: ways to plug into the startup ecosystem even without large capital.
- Practical questions that founders should ask a fund: What is the operating platform? What resources, networks, and buyer access does the fund provide?

Memorable Outtakes:
- Lake Dai: “I’m looking at it as if OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic, who raise so much money, and where do they spend it? That’s where I invest.”
- Lake Dai: “You are the one that decides which direction you are going… at the end of the day, AI is a tool … you have to do something meaningful with it — find your product‑market fit and be the preferred provider of your customer.”
- Sheamus McGovern: “What Lake just described isn’t just a technical footnote — it’s a massive strategic pivot for the AI ecosystem: the next frontier isn’t just bigger models, it’s how we power and deploy them.”
