Cosa fa Bamboo

Bamboo is the first online brokerage service that gives wealthy Africans and their wealth managers direct access to the US and global securities. We’re building Fidelity for the African continent. For wealthy Africans and their asset managers, investing in the global capital markets is cumbersome, expensive and practically inaccessible. In Nigeria, Africa's largest economy and home to 30% of all the wealth in Sub Saharan Africa (excluding South Africa), 99.99% of the investing population do not have access to invest globally. Even for the 0.01%, if you wanted to buy a US stock, you’d have to call your asset manager who would then call an international broker to execute a trade. This is inefficient & expensive! We have a mobile app that allows individuals trade the US stock markets by themselves and a brokerage tool for asset managers to execute trades directly & manage multilple portfolios seamlessly.

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

We built Bamboo to give wealthy Africans and their asset managers direct access to US and global stock markets. Our mobile app lets individuals trade US stocks themselves. We also offer a tool to asset managers to execute trades and manage multiple portfolios without the usual middlemen and costs.

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

We live in Lagos, Nigeria and the company is based here now and will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Lagos because it's the largest economy in Africa and home to a significant portion of the region's wealth. The problem we solve is local, so building here puts us close to our users and market.
