Inspiration
I graduated from university in 2020, Since then, I engaged in job hunting which was tough with none found. I tried to open my mind beyond Nigerian jobs, I looked into blockchain space and I found Binance. I worked with Binance from 2021 to 2024. When I was working with Binance, I took time to think a lot about the future and I was convinced that I need to build my own product so I won’t be working for someone forever and I won’t be looking for jobs forever. Finally, I decided to start building proSEED Global as my own personal brand. This comes from my experience while working with Binance and being on the blockchain and web3 space.
What it does
proSEED Global is a unified blockchain and AI powered Superapp for onchain payments, works, eCommerce, Web3 and social interactions.

How we built it
I was just a founder then, with no coding skills entirely. I was lost and scammed severally looking for real and true devs to work with until I couldnt move anymore. I was heartbroken and almost quit everything, then boom, I found chatGPT just before codex comes into existence. I started learning how chatGPT works first gradually gradually until I got everything needed. Started learning web development first with it to see how I can do with it jut before initiating the main project development. I couldnt believe it, cause I got what even devs couldnt give me, the knowledge, the guides, the steps, like something staying in me forever, I was able to build something live with it just by telling CHATGPT my plan and what I need and it gives me steps, guides and codes. I started proSEED like that bit by bit until I was able to get the MVP after several cancellations and restarts. The only issue was UI design but all functionalities were good. I continued like that until codex comes in. When codex came up, it was like a heaven sent God personally made it for me to help me, when I moved on to using it, I felt I needed nobody to assist with any coding cause codex could literally do everything needed from building, refining and debugging, I’m jus sooooo grateful for this. To be honest, my building wasnt for just a week, it took me 2.5 years till now to build wht I have achieved in building https://app.proseed.global just from worst to perfect. Thank you so much Sam😭😭😭. You literally have no idea how this helped and saved me. If not for it, I could have given up building this just long ago. But today, I feel I can build a whole big thing with no iota of doubt, all my thoughts will only be on credits and usage limits but never again thinking about if I can do it or not. That was then and that issue is solved forever. This made me kickstart 2 more startups: SecureClaw for onchain wallet security and iSchool Digital Learning System for schools operations and leavening activities all powered by AI. These wouldn’t even come up to me without ChatGPT.
Challenges we ran into
The challenges are what all startups face, funding to scale, this has been my only bottleneck and I hope one day I will pass by it.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
After building a full proSEED platform, we tested each feature with friends one by one and we only had few blockers which were later solved by codex.
Tbh, I personally look at my journey in building proSEED from start to now: I mostly feel proud and sometimes a bit embarrassed. Whatever, my biggest win is the fact that I truly learned new things and I was able to build some cool unfunded startups.
What we learned
I learned a lot of things to be honest especially things related to fullstack development, integrations and marketing. All with chatGPT and im so grateful for that. Starting a project is no longer a hassle, just your idea, and codex brings it to life. This has become a normal thing for me and I’m so proud I can do more.
What's next for proSEED Global
Get funded, penetrate markets and scale. This is the only bottleneck I have.
Lastly, I want to use this medium to give my sincere gratitude to the OpenAI team for bringing their products to people like me, you literally have no idea how much we are really helped. Thank you so much and we shall do more together.
