It’s still a brand new year and everyone is full of expectations/aspirations, even as many plans are being mapped out for implementation. In corporate Africa, we expect to see plentiful deals being signed, especially in the startup space where foreign investors’ interest remain keen.
Also, with regards to new product launches, expansion and fundraising, expectations are high. The question then is this —which African startup founders should we expect to see dominating 2022? Let’s take a good guess based on what happened last year.
Dare and his fintech startup are on a mission to make it easier for Africans to send and receive money, just as easy as it is today to make and receive phone calls. So, last year, he really set his plans in motion by raising a significant amount of money (about $100 million) through debt and equity.
His company was among the top 20 African startups that raised the most funds last year. So, we are excited to see what he plans to do with all that money in the new year.
