Building HGHR

part 1: What am I even doing?

A statement that has been coming up quite often, in my mind, and everywhere else lately, is "You can just do things".

To me, it's the kind of optimism I can get behind. If I were to be known for anything through my social media, especially Twitter and Warpcast where the entity "kuusho" exists, It'd be an inconsistency in what I'm known for.

At first I was trying to write think pieces that sound smart. Then, I started speaking regularly on The Modern Market. After that, I made founder/project spotlights, clippings from twitter spaces, worked as a community manager/Collab guy for an Ordinal project. a marketing manager for an onchain guild launchpad before getting fired and returning as a ghostwriter for its founder.

Now, I'm not even known. I write almost no content (even though I briefly tried to be a MegaETH expert till I discovered that to be a fully formed ecosystem).

However, I've decided to just do things. So, I'm starting a foundation.

I'm not sure what that means or if that puts me in a box of expectations for the foundation. Nor am I sure if that means it has to be boring, bland and operate like a "appearances first" organization.

My dream is not to appear to be helping the whole world. It's not to be an activist or a voice for the people. I am not a freedom fighter.

My dream is to provide a platform for people to aim higher. A place where people who just do things can do things.

This doesn't mean we don't care for people as anyone would see from our first few announcements. It simply means I want to build an "aesthetics forward" brand that presents being optimistic as being cool.

HGHR foundation can concession hospitals AND build skate parks. We can host gaming events AND workshops across Africa teaching people how to set up onchain businesses. "Foundation" for us means "starting point" not "tax exemption" or "money laundering".

But it starts with action.


THE BEGINNING.

It didn't take long after speaking with my legal and compliance co-founder to discover how little I know.

From scary abbreviations, to jurisdictional considerations for setting up the entity. There is no meme, I am clueless.

Certain crypto native individuals will ask the obvious question: Why register?

The answer is in my starting point itself. When you're from Nigeria, every single action is checked and questioned for credibility. What this means is, every action taken by myself or this entity will be scrutinized for loopholes at every chance, a problem I do not mind having.

Although this part is now mostly done, the door to more complexities and challenges is now open. Let's see if I can "just do things" my way to a functional organization that grows into the coolest foundation ever.

I'm in the kitchen if you need me.
