Today, we will continue our conversation on the mechanics of market systems as our Faculty, Afolabi Olamide, of Touch and Pay Technologies Ltd (YC W22), the creators of Cowry card in Lagos, comes to Tekedia Mini-MBA Live. How do you grow from 1000 users to close to 5 million in less than four years?
What do they do? They digitize small payments like N200, N300, etc, making sure that revenue is assured for merchants, owners, vendors and companies. And the vision has worked, maximally: if you take care of the kobos, the Nairas will take care of themselves.
With more than 99% system reliability through a closed network, they made customers to become FANS, and when fandom happens in markets, you thrive. And it is contactless which means the card lasts longer in the rain, sun, and harmattan.
