7 African startups powering credit, crypto, creators, and capital
- Dingpay aims to replace cash and cards in Nigeria with a digital wallet that supports local payment methods and QR-based transactions.
- Supplya provides small retailers in Nigeria with interest-free credit to source goods directly from manufacturers.
- SwarmZero democratizes AI access for small businesses by allowing users to create and monetize AI agents without coding.
