• Fintech founded in 2024 offers access to real-asset projects across Africa
• Platform targets youth, diaspora, and global investors seeking impact
• Blockchain ensures transparency, traceability, and simplified governance

Based in Lomé and founded in 2024 by brothers Julien and Hervé Gakpé (photo), Togolese fintech Minah.io aims to transform how young Africans finance impact-driven projects. Its platform allows users to invest in real-world assets (RWA) on the continent, such as real estate, energy, and agriculture, using blockchain to ensure transparency and security.

“Convinced of the continent’s potential, we lower the barriers to entering the African market by connecting investors from around the world with high-potential local development projects. […] We facilitate investment in rigorously selected projects, ensuring clear follow-up and simplified management,” the start-up says.

The solution offers several “investment strategies,” each built around concrete projects driven by committed local actors. Through this approach, it gives young Togolese, as well as the diaspora and international investors, the opportunity to participate in the continent’s economic development while generating financial returns.

By channeling regular financial flows toward concrete projects, the platform provides a sustainable alternative to simple money transfers. For young entrepreneurs or project leaders in Togo, this means broader access to structured financing. Minah does not limit itself to one-off support but focuses on long-term, high-potential initiatives. Thanks to blockchain technology, it ensures investment traceability and transparent governance.

Overall, the fintech represents a new generation of financial solutions in Africa, combining blockchain, impact investing, and inclusion to pave the way for fairer and more sustainable financing for African youth.
