Why it matters

In this economy, unit economics are the strategy.

Strip away the hype and you're left with a practical question about pricing that every operator faces.

Competitors won't sit still. Expect incumbents to respond within the quarter.

What to watch next

  • Whether the Series A buys enough runway to reach the next milestone.
  • How Nigeria's regulators respond over the next two quarters.
