“AI is coming for our jobs.”

It sounds dramatic… until it’s not.

Jack Dorsey’s company, Block, reportedly cut over 4,000 roles as part of a pivot toward becoming more AI-first — leaning into automation, leaner teams, and machine-driven efficiency.

AI isn’t some distant future disruption, it’s already reshaping hiring, org charts, and what “value” looks like inside companies.

The real question isn’t if AI will change jobs.
It’s how we adapt when it does.

Are we being replaced… or being repositioned?

Spiro, the electric mobility company with a major hub in Kenya, has raised $50 million in debt financing to fuel its expansion across Africa. The funding follows a $100 million raise in October 2025 and brings its total funding since 2020 to $330 million in debt and equity.

Unlike early-stage startups relying heavily on equity, Spiro’s debt raise signals business maturity. The company uses debt to fund predictable, revenue-linked assets like warehousing, dealerships, and logistics, while equity supports long-term investments such as R&D and talent acquisition.

Since launching in 2019, Spiro has scaled rapidly — expanding into Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria, Benin, and Togo. It now operates over 80,000 e-bikes and 2,500 battery-swapping stations, with 40 dealerships across the continent. Its Kenyan factory alone can produce 50,000 units annually.

While much of its components are still manufactured in China and assembled in Africa, the new capital positions Spiro for deeper operational control and faster continental growth in Africa’s evolving e-mobility ecosystem.
