Joe Kinvi, a Togolese entrepreneur, investor, and former fintech executive based in England, founded Borderless, a platform designed to help community leaders organize, grow, and manage their collectives more efficiently.

Kinvi aims to use technology to redefine how communities structure themselves and collaborate. He positions the platform as a digital framework to better organize and unify groups.

Founded in 2023 in London, Borderless provides an intuitive and structured solution for the day-to-day management of collectives. The platform centralizes registrations, streamlines membership applications, and enables smoother coordination among members.

Borderless also allows users to manage investments with greater transparency and improved tracking. As a result, the platform targets investment groups, social clubs, and professional networks.

It also serves diaspora communities that seek to invest collectively across borders while maintaining structured governance.

Borderless structures its onboarding process through a series of standardized steps. Users create a collective by completing a registration form and submitting required documents before the platform publishes the group online.

The platform then assigns a dedicated interface to manage members and activities. Members join collectives through invitations or shared links, followed by account creation and identity verification.

Kinvi serves on the board of directors and on the membership and nominations committee of the African Business Angel Network (ABAN). He previously co-founded HoaQ in 2020, a community of creators and operators, and served as its president until 2024.

Kinvi qualified as a chartered accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland. He started his career in 2011 as an auditor at Ernst & Young.

He joined State Street in 2015 as an internal auditor. He later founded the African Professionals Network of Ireland in 2016 and served as its president.

Kinvi joined Touchtech Payments in 2017 as finance manager. He then worked as head of financial partnerships at Paystack between 2022 and 2023 before launching Borderless.
