About Us

We’re all about giving back – even if that sounds like a cliche. Our founders all grew up in Africa, have strong ties to the continent and have a vision that they’re executing.

As we grow and hire locally, we want all the investment to remain in Africa, giving back to Africans and making the population self-sufficient.
