    Now it’s time to put the spotlight on the incredible founders Kelechi Oti and Mallick, Bolakale who have founded Startbutton Africa. 🔦 The problem they are addressing is that global companies face challenges expanding into Africa, like lengthy incorporation, inability to accept local payments without a local entity, complex regulations, taxes, currency volatility, profit loss, reconciliation, compliance, and fraud management. And this is not a small problem as there are 54 countries with 42 different currencies on the African continent and it typically takes at least 6-12 months for a merchant to set up payments because of this. To solve this Startbutton has built a single API connecting multinational businesses to African payment companies, automating payment orchestration, computing applicable taxes, and remitting taxes on their behalf in each country. This can help companies save months or even years entering the African market. The need is big and the timing seems to be right as they have fantastic traction with over 100 clients onboarded already.🚀 We’re super happy to have Kelechi and Mallick in the 2024 cohort of the Norrsken Accelerator! 🤩 If you want to read more or get in touch with them you can do that here: https://lnkd.in/d2mpq8nP

    Earlier this month, the amazing team behind Startbutton Africa took some time out to unwind and better prepare for the second half of the year. It was a healthy blend of relaxation and inspiration, with insights from top industry voices like Femi Aluko, Oyin Solebo and Seyi Agbedana, helping us gear up for the next big chapter. It’s been an incredible past few years of hard work and innovation, and we thank everyone for being part of our journey. #Startbutton 🚀
