Finance control centre for African businesses

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building a platform that gives African businesses control over spending, payments, payroll, and multi-currency operations with approval workflows. Our product brings visibility and control by unifying these finance functions in one tool, solving the fragmented and risky way finance is managed in African companies.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Lagos, Nigeria, with a remote team. After YC, we plan to remain based in Lagos but continue growing our remote presence.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Lagos because that's where we understand the market best. The finance processes and multi-currency challenges we solve are specific to African businesses operating here, so being local is critical.
