About Me
As a tech entrepreneur, my goal is to revolutionize the informal sector in French-speaking West Africa. I currently lead operations at M-studio, the region’s leading startup studio based in Côte d’Ivoire. We build mobile tech startups inspired by successes in English-speaking markets to drive socioeconomic development. We support and fund entrepreneurs, with a particular focus on women and youth, to nurture Africa’s next unicorns.
Previously, I was Growth Lead and Country Launcher at Wave Mobile Money, contributing to the expansion of mobile financial services in West Africa. I also held leadership roles at Bolt as Regional Operations Manager in East Africa.
In 2015, I co-founded BuuPass, a digital ticketing platform, which I led until 2017. In 2018, Transdev selected BuuPass as one of the best innovations in the transport sector in Nairobi, Kenya.
In 2016, I won the prestigious $1M Hult Prize, awarded by US President Clinton, and was honored with the African Women in Technology Award in 2017. In 2023, I was honored to be included in the Forbes Africa 30 under 30 list, alongside other exceptional young leaders who are redefining the continent despite challenges and opportunities.
Why I’m doing this ?
I was expecting answers on fundraising for my project and Mr. Makosso guided me well. Small disappointment that my case does not fall under classic fundraising given my project. But this interview helped me a lot and we covered my project.
Mr. Makosso guided me and gave me precious advice. I recommend Mr. Makosso for people who wish to raise funds because he masters his subject.
Thank you for this very instructive masterclass!
I had three specific questions concerning financing, networking, and mentoring. Loïc answered all my questions in a fluid and enriching manner.
However, I would have liked more detailed answers concerning financial partners, especially for my zero initial investment offer. I had the impression that we covered the subjects superficially and that I left without tangible material.
On the other hand, I had good advice on the orientation of my offer and on understanding customer needs, which is paramount beyond what I have to offer. Very enriching.
