Devin: What is your superpower?Luni: I can see paradigms. Most people, they live inside paradigms, and they don't notice.“Most people in Africa are farmers, and they're poor not because they're uneducated or any less intelligent than anyone else,” says Africa Eats founder and CEO Luni Libes. “They're poor because no one buys their outputs. No one is buying what they're growing.”As an investor, Luni saw an opportunity to simultaneously address hunger and poverty in Africa while helping African entrepreneurs to grow and succeed.“We just set it up so that we have companies that buy the outputs of these farmers—that and treat that food well,” Luni says. “That solves the post-harvest losses, and these farmers have an income.”“Hate to say, ‘voila, that's everything,' but that is 90 percent of the problem solved,” he says.There is mounting evidence that the holding company model he's created for investing in the companies is working.Before launching Africa Eats in 2020, the 2019 revenue for the companies was just under $7 million for the full year. The companies generated as much in the first quarter of 2023, suggesting the combined revenue has quadrupled.The biggest of the companies is East Africa Foods, which garnered an investment from Luni's accelerator, Fledge, in 2014. At the time, the company had just $100,000 in revenue. Last year, he says, revenues reached $10 million, up 100-fold in a decade.All of the companies in Africa Eats participated in Fledge and garnered investments.Luni credits a unique superpower for the impact he's leading.

VCs routinely say their top three investment considerations are “team, team and team.”Luni notes that isn't the truth. VCs only get to consider the team after they've determined the opportunity is both large enough and requires enough capital to warrant that.By seeing that paradigm and its flaws, Luni was able to see a way to use a different structure to create a financial opportunity and impact in Africa. He's investing in food and ag on a continent that most VCs avoid, and those that do participate often invest in tech.To help others, his students and the entrepreneurs who run the portfolio companies, he thinks of a lesson he learned while teaching at Bainbridge Graduate Institute (now Presidio). “In order to make change, you have to show there's a problem,” Luni says. “In order to show there's a problem, you have to show what the framework is.”By following Luni's example and advice, you can learn to see paradigms. With practice, you could make that a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world. Get full access to Superpowers for Good at devinthorpe.substack.com/subscribe

Prior to the pandemic, people were already spending a lot of time in their offices likely sitting behind a computer. Now, that time has doubled if not tripled for many as companies begin to adopt work-from-home policies. In fact, there are scientific studies that show a direct correlation between the actual layout of a workspace and productivity, job satisfaction, and profitability.   A Work Space Logistics plan considers the best placement and arrangement of your team, furniture, and equipment to ensure seamless work and information flow. It's also one of the seven elements of the Kasennu framework for business infrastructure.   This encore features the story of Clenard Smith, a no-nonsense veteran who wants to take his food distribution company public. His military background serves him well when it comes to strategy and execution but proves to be no match in his latest battle for more workspace. A consultant devises a Work Space Logistics plan to dramatically increase productivity and help him defeat this formidable enemy once and for all.
