Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Modern bill payment for African businesses.

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

We built a bill payment platform that lets African individuals pay their energy bills easily and businesses pay international vendors hassle-free. We also provide lenders with an Energy Data Service that uses payment data to improve lending decisions. Our product solves the problem that bill payment and vendor payments are fragmented, manual, and unreliable in Africa.

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

We currently live and work in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria, and plan to base the company there after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We live and focus on Nigeria because that's where the problems with bill payments and business financial workflows are the most acute. The infrastructure and users are local; we need to be embedded in the market we serve.
