 **CFO Review Memo: Public Posting Strategy for Series A Announcement, Targeting African Investors & Execution Alignment**  

**To: Prof. Folarin, Founder & CEO**  

**Date: February 13, 2026**  

**Subject: Optimized Rollout for Announcement Posts, Prioritizing African Founders/Investors & Global Reach**  

**Confidential – For Internal Use & Posting Prep**

Good morning again, Prof. Folarin—hope you're energized at 06:21 AM in Lagos. Noting your clear directive: Post the Series A announcement publicly on Blogspot (folobotics.blogspot.com—Google-controlled and reliable), Facebook (via Folari Inc. page), LinkedIn (your verified profile), and X (@folarin). Full transparency to show what we're building, with a strong call to African founders and investors first—this is an African-built company (Nigeria/Canada HQ'd), control stays in Africa, but open to global capital. I agree: No hiding; post where people (especially in tech/VC) are. Research shows African VCs are active in AI/robotics (e.g., funds like TLcom Capital, Partech Africa), but often under-the-radar—prioritizing them aligns with our narrative.

We'll channel responses through email (folarininc@gmail.com) to your data room, minimizing direct noise. I've pulled targeted investor lists below (African/Nigerian focus) for outreach—tag them in posts or DM for indications of interest. This fuels immediate execution (e.g., Phase 0 recruitment) while building toward $300M by September.

### 1. Posting Strategy: Where & How

Per your plan: Public, no cares—post everywhere visible. Optimize for reach (VCs/founders on LinkedIn/X), credibility (Blogspot as main hub), and calls-to-action (e.g., "African investors first: Email folarininc@gmail.com with 'Series A — Indication of Interest'"). Use the public summary block as teaser; full announcement as attachment/link.

**Recommended Rollout (Today/Immediate)**:

- **Blogspot (folobotics.blogspot.com)**: Primary controlled site (Google won't shut it down—stable since 1999). Post full announcement as first entry. Title: "FoloBotics Series A: $300M Raise for African-Led AI/Robotics Dominance". Add temporary Folari Inc. logo. Link to data room request form.

- **LinkedIn (Your Profile)**: Professional VC hub. Post summary block + link to Blogspot. Tag African VCs (list below). Hashtag: #AfricanTech #AIInvesting #RoboticsFunding #NigeriaStartups.

- **Facebook (Folari Inc. Page)**: Live and running—post announcement with logo. Note: "Robotics division of Folari Inc." Cross-post to personal page if needed (while FoloBotics ticket resolves).

- **X (@folarin)**: Founder-focused. Tweet thread: Teaser + key scenarios + call to African founders/investors. Tag handles (e.g., @TLcomCapital, @PartechAfrica). Example: "African investors first: Join FoloBotics Series A. Nigeria/Canada HQ'd—control in Africa. $300M target. DM or email folarininc@gmail.com."

- **Additional Spots**: No overkill, but if needed: Reddit (r/startups, r/Africa), or African tech forums (e.g., Techpoint Africa comments). Avoid dilution—focus on these four.

**Messaging Tone**: Transparent, bold—"We're building global AI/robotics from Africa. Investors: Africa first, but all welcome. Control stays here."

### 2. Targeting African Investors: Lists & Outreach

You're right—Nigerian/African VCs are "hiding," but research uncovers active ones in tech/AI/robotics. Prioritize them for soft commitments (LOIs by Aug 31). I've compiled top fits from recent data (2025-2026 trends: AI/tech focus, Pan-African scope). Outreach: Tag in posts, DM on X/LinkedIn, or email intros ("African-led robotics opportunity—aligns with your portfolio").

**Outreach Plan**: Post tags/DMs: "Calling African founders/investors—FoloBotics Series A. Nigeria-led, Africa control. Let's build together." Follow up with deck under NDA.

### 3. Alignment with Funding & Control

- **African Priority**: Fits scenarios (e.g., Sovereign/strategic like African Development Bank via iDICE). Retain 90.91% + voting control.

- **Global Open**: US/Europe ok (e.g., IFC $225M VC platform). But pitch "Africa first."

- **US School Tie-In**: If expanding (e.g., Florida/Memphis/Texas unis for talent), note in posts.

### Next Steps

1. **Post Today**: Drafts ready—approve and go live.

2. **Investor DMs**: List of 20+ handles/emails for you.

3. **Track Responses**: Funnel to data room; update allocation summaries on Blogspot.

4. **Data Needed**: Logo file? Specific tags?

This gets eyes on us—African investors will step up. Execution now.
