It is one of the most amazing startups in Africa: from 1000 users to more than 4.5 million in less than 4 years. When I met Kabir, Olamide, Ogo and Michael, they were processing less than $10,000 equivalent per month. Today, with close to 700k daily users, Touch and Pay Technologies Ltd (YC W22) which powers Cowry Card is a category-king.
And from Lagos to Ghana, Kano to Senegal, and beyond, TAP is unlocking new vistas in microtransaction payments in Africa. Lagos, the center of excellence and Africa’s innovation headquarters, provided uncommon capacity to push a homegrown product to the mountaintop.
At Tekedia Capital, we celebrate our portfolio companies like Touch and Tap, even as on Oct 19, a new class of 15 startups will present to our members. Yes, next Saturday is Tekedia Capital Demo Day, and companies from America, UK, Mexico, Nigeria, India, etc will come.
