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.
In 2022, we expect to witness Chipper Cash’s rapid expansion across more African countries. And the fintech startup’s co-founders, Ham and Maijid, would be driving said expansion. The two co-founded the company in 2014 and quickly built it into one of Africa’s most valuable startups.
In 2021 alone, Chipper Cash raised $250 million and launched operations in both the US and the UK to facilitate global remittances to Africa. In November last year, Ham told Business Insider Africa that the main focus in 2022 would be on furthering the company’s expansion drive.
