Very excited that through Tekedia Capital, we will inject $millions into seven Africa-operating startups. These companies cover six sectors and we are very confident that they would outperform. From next week, I will begin to share the portfolios once we finalize the deals.

Innovators, keep building and I want you to check Tekedia Capital to see how we can support your missions. Let’s ride the rocketship together.

Future investors, we want to work with you to build the NEXT Africa. Learn more and join our syndicate.

My presentation in Alibaba is scheduled on Thursday, July 8.  I will speak on “Building on Numbers for the African Time”. Yes, when you read the news, things could be exceedingly challenging. But look deeper, you will see latent opportunities. In a DealRoom Nigeria Board meeting at 11pm WAT yesterday, Chairman Kyari Bukar provided insights as we spoke. Quickly, right there, you can see that tomorrow is a huge promise.

So, I think that Africa is moving into a cambrian moment of entrepreneurial capitalism, powered by digital technologies, and innovators will use the tools to combine and recombine factors of production to fix market frictions at scale. But we need to build on Numbers because we have to eliminate guesswork! Yes, move from scalars to vectors; with vectors, you have directions.

BrandMobile Africa, creators of Kuuzza announced the launch of its decentralised sales platform, developed specifically for businesses to connect seamlessly to motivated sellers. 

Business owners now have the opportunity to expand their businesses to reach new demographics faster without the interference of middlemen or multiple retailers while sellers can earn money by selling products on the virtual inventory without any upfront capital.

In effect, Kuuzza is automating the traditional person to person commerce that is often driven by personal relationships, word of mouth and social commerce. 

“It is with great happiness and genuine excitement that we announce the release of Kuuzza,” said Toby Nwanede, CEO and co-founder of Kuuzza at the brand launch.

The Gap Kuuzza is Bridging in The Retail Industry

Kuuzza provides a risk-free, exciting, profitable & sustainable business for young, agile and entrepreneurial Nigerians looking for an alternative source of income.

Kuuzza’s solution touches manufacturers, distribution companies, logistics providers, fulfilment centres, credit/loan facilitators, etc. 

Kuuzza combines retail, tech, escrow payment integration and logistics in order to attain customer fulfilment. With Kuuzza, everyone’s a winner. Every stakeholder, be it the vendor, seller or end-user, everyone gets value for every sale. 

Why choose Kuuzza?

Business owners can manage and keep track of their inventory. Products are available to resellers at no upfront cost. Sellers can access thousands of products on the go. Payments are processed using a secured, frictionless payment channel that is accessible by all.

All these benefits and more are available to all stakeholders on the Kuuzza platform. 

‘’Today has been a proud and humbling day as we launched Kuuzza in a small but wonderful event” said Toby Nwanede, CEO and Co-Founder, Kuuzza. He continued, 

“I am deeply grateful to my team at BrandMobile Africa who have worked tirelessly to put this product together. Kuuzza isn’t just a powerful solution, it represents a significant project for us. What is more powerful is that every single thing that you are selling on this platform can be tracked in real-time through your Kuuzza dashboard.

While speaking at the event, Habeeb Aremu, COO and Co-Founder, Kuuzza had this to say, ‘’Kuuzza will be among the most significant platforms empowering Africans (businesses and individuals) in the next 5 years.  The objective is to ensure that for individuals it becomes a lifestyle application and for businesses, it becomes an enabler.’’

Gbemiga Jacobs, Founder, All Things Adire, a vendor on Kuuzza.com, who was present at the event, shared his thoughts on the platform, ‘’It’s awesome, this is really awesome, and a good one and makes my life easier, because I get to focus on producing while giving other chains to others including delivery. I will really also love to see more vendors onboarded and I am talking to 5 other people at the moment.’’

Hassan Tukpe-Ajikobi, Project Manager, Home Et Al shared his thoughts on Kuuzza’s referral program, ‘’I think the referral program will be a huge boost because those who are in the small and medium scale businesses will usually have downlines and if you can find a way to encourage them, they can bring more vendors.’’

Our course on satellite broadband has been praised by our members. I am also reporting that Tekedia Mini-MBA will anchor our next edition with a special case study on sovereign digital currencies like e-yuan, e-dollars and e-naira. We believe that business education should be fresh, relevant and empowering. Check our latest curriculum and register to join Tekedia Institute Mini-MBA (Sept 13 – Dec 6, 2021) as early registration benefits end soon.

I authored this Special Case Study. My motivation is this: if indeed a new era comes for money, there is a propensity that we could have catalytic impacts on business models, across industrial sectors and business territories. Consequently,  our members need to be equipped as that redesign begins to happen. Yes, if e-Naira arrives, and transaction frictions disappear, would new business models evolve, and who would be disintermediated?
