Congrats to the ANKA team for securing $5M to hit $13.5M in total pre-series A round to further drive global African e-commerce. ANKA is an all-in-one SaaS platform that empowers African social commerce, exporters, and dropshippers to streamline their operations. It enables businesses to sell from anywhere, ship worldwide, and receive payments quickly through a variety of international and local African payment methods, catalyzing African entrepreneurship and cross-border trade.
Like Kenya’s Copia, ANKA is inventing something new in Ivory Coast. The unification of payment, ecommerce, exporting, dropping shipping, etc, making a platform an operating system for SMEs, has a promise. Indeed, the age of opening a business as a paytech company is largely over. Why? In the future, all matured platforms will have fintech as a feature.
From Oct 2, an Aba-based version of this business model but focusing on B2B will be part of the 9-10 companies coming to the next edition of Tekedia Capital Syndicate Through the Nigerian government, the company just secured to ship 10,000 pairs of shoes to Jamaica. #amazing
