Cosa fa Flutterwave

At Flutterwave, we are on a mission to build payments infrastructure to connect Africa to the global economy. We do this by building technology, tools, and infrastructure for businesses and banks who want to provide a more seamless and secure payments experience for their customers. Founded in 2016 by a team of African finance and technology veterans from Standard Bank, Angela, PayPal, Google Wallet amongst others. Flutterwave has grown to become one of the fastest growing payments companies in the world. Since inception Flutterwave has processed close to $20 billion in payments and 100 million transactions across over 33 African countries where it currently operates. It has attracted significant investment from experienced Fintech investors such as Ycombinator Continuity Fund (investors in Stripe), Greycroft (investors in Braintree and Venmo), Greenvisor Capital, Omidyar Network, and Glynn Capital amongst others. In 2017 Flutterwave was named Africa’s best fintech company at the Apps Africa Innovation Awards.

We built a payments infrastructure that allows businesses and banks to process payments across 33 African countries. Our platform handles transactions from multiple channels, making it easier for businesses to accept payments anywhere on the continent.

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

We live in Lagos, Nigeria, and the company is based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Lagos because that is where our team and most of our customers are. Africa's payments infrastructure is fragmented, and being on the ground here allows us to solve real local problems quickly.
