Чем занимается Rank (formerly Moni)

Moni finances small businesses in groups across Africa. The collective responsibility of the group serves as a collateral on the loan while the social pressure from the members ensures on-time repayment. There are over 44million SMBs in Africa.   We launched 7 months ago and we already have $72k MRR growing at 50% MoM. We achieved 99% repayment on 11,000 units of loans with over $5M disbursed. This is 15 times higher than most financial services in Africa.   Femi (CEO) worked previously with the World Bank with a focus on financial services while Dapo (CTO) led the development of the technology for one of the largest digital lending apps We are also backed by Y Combinator(W22), Magic Fund, Ventures Platform, Voltron Capital and more.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Group financing for small businesses in Africa

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

We provide group loans to small businesses across Africa. Instead of traditional collateral, the loan is backed by collective responsibility within business groups and enforced through social pressure to ensure repayment. Our platform manages loan disbursements, group formation, and repayment tracking.

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

We live in Lagos, Nigeria, and are currently based there with a remote team. After YC, the company will remain based in Lagos with remote support.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Lagos because it's the heart of Africa's small business activity and fintech innovation. Being local helps us understand and serve the 44 million SMBs in Africa who have no reliable access to credit.

Это показывает, как компания вроде Rank (formerly Moni) представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
