Great job man!

Really impressed that you already defined a winnable issue at your first circle

One big opportunity I want to flag: the Buddy Platform you’re proposing has significant overlap with Wahala, an emergency response platform being built by the Logos Circle Ilorin. Both are focused on community safety, trusted contacts, and emergency alerts. Strongly recommend connecting with @dotun.io Dotun (Ilorin steward) before going too far on your own design, you might find you can collaborate on a single platform that serves both cities, or at least learn from what they’ve built so far. I can introduce you both if helpful.

Would you like me to introduce you to Dotun this week? Excited to have Port Harcourt in the region!

Oh okay, yes I would love an introduction.

Thank you so much for the warm and insightful feedback.
