The B2C startup has developed several platforms to meet business needs in Cameroon and Africa as a whole. For instance, Mungenow Properties facilitates real estate operations (sales and acquisitions) everywhere on the continent. Mungenow Trips assists in the e-visa process for some destinations while Mungenow Classified helps sell or buy various items. 

Africa’s tech is the next big opportunity and Mungenow Technologies is leading the way,” the tech entrepreneur who holds an advanced diploma in Accounting and Business said in 2020 when Mungenow Technologies was launching its seed crowdfunding round.

In August 2022, Aaron expanded Mungenow Technologies' service offering by launching Mungenow Stays, which allows users to book guest rooms in Cameroon’s largest cities right from the comfort of their homes. The long-term goal is to go continental and to guarantee great service, the platform verifies every host establishment before listing them.  

Aaron Munga is also the founder and CEO of Swychr Global, a London-based fintech startup founded in 2021. The start-up offers a mobile application that facilitates diaspora-Africa and intra-African money transfers with its currency called the Purple Coins. 

The serial entrepreneur also co-founded Jump The Q, an online grocery store that officially shut down on June 1st, 2022, after over three years of operation. 

Before diving into the entrepreneurship world, Aaron Munga worked in the United Arab Emirates for KIZA Restaurant & Lounge as a general accountant in 2015. In February 2016, he joined the publishing company DMG Events as an accountant.
