Hello and welcome!
We’re giving the most ambitious founders in Fintech, Crypto, AgTech, EdTech, and more a platform to share their product or startup with the world and connect with users, partners, and investors.
You have a powerful story; we have the platform. Location-agnostic—whether you’re building in Lagos, Nairobi, Cape Town, London, or anywhere else.
How to get featured:
1. Have a great product/startup
2. Film your story (ensure it meets quality standards—see our page for examples)
3. If your story inspires us, we share it with the world.

Welcome to the team, Donice
I found a pair of shoes on Amazon for $17.59. Amazon's shipping to Nigeria added another ₦28,930. Shipping was almost as expensive as the shoes.
So I tried Senda instead. Here's what happened.

My verdict is simple. I wanted shoes from Amazon. Found the shipping unattractive. Tried Senda. Order arrived in a week. I would use it again.
Sometimes the most interesting startups are not the ones promising to change the world.
They are the ones making a frustrating part of everyday life noticeably easier.

In May 2023, our founder, Semudara Abayomi, landed his first deal: ₦20,000.
Now in 2026, he's speaking at Raenest Exchange on "Beyond Brand Deals: The New Creator Revenue Playbook."
How much has he made since? He won't tell us.

Bayomi, drop the account balance. 👀
LemFi launches new global brand and app in biggest expansion yet.
For many immigrants, moving abroad means starting over financially. You might have a job, savings and a good credit history back home, but in your new country, lenders may know little about you.
🧵
“_We started LemFi because sending money home was broken. What we learned is that the harder problem starts after the transfer,_” said co-founder and CEO Ridwan Olalere.
