Twenty years ago, Port Harcourt based Cinfores Limited began as a pioneering EdTech company, distributing their solutions via compact discs. Over time, they evolved into providers of online examination and scholarship management infrastructure solutions for tertiary and corporate institutions. Today, they are the leading provider of public systems digitalization solutions in Nigeria, offering services such as judiciary and jurisprudence information management for multiple state governments and courts. Cinfores has been largely bootstrapped with no major outside investment and they are profitable. If Asawo Ibifuro pursued this venture in a traditional Startup style, they probably should be (or nearing) unicorn 🦄 status by now. In this short clip from #StartupSouth9, Ibifuro Asawo, CEO & Co-founder, shares the company’s remarkable journey. Watch the full video on the #StartupSouth YouTube page.
