According to the World Bank, up to 65% of the adult population is unbanked in sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria alone, some reports estimate the number of unbanked adults to be 59 million. For those reports, the situation is due to several challenges namely the conservative policies and distance to access points. Babs Ogundeyi wants to address some of the problems with Kuda Bank, a digital-only bank.
Babs Ogundeyi (photo) is a young Nigerian entrepreneur and co-founder of Kuda Bank, a digital-only bank. Founded in 2017, the fintech startup was initially named Kudimoney with Musty Mustafa as its co-founder. It became Kuda Bank in 2019, following the obtention of a central bank license, in line with its ambition to make banking services more accessible to a larger number of the population in Africa.
Nowadays, via its mobile app, Kuda Bank allows Nigerians to manage their expenses and make savings online without paying maintenance or hidden fees. For its CEO, Babs Ogundeyi, the startup can even offer instant loans to its users provided their salaries are domiciled with Kuda.
Its co-founder Ogundeyi graduated from Brunel University London with a BA in Business Studies and Accounting. Right after his graduation, he went into the entrepreneurship world (in 2002) by co-founding MotorTrader Nigeria, a classified car ad magazine. One year later, he sold the magazine to a major Nigerian media. Around the same period, he joined PwC Nigeria as an Engagement Manager. In 2010, he left PwC Nigeria to become a partner at investment company Redbrick Ltd.
Some months later, he became the Oyo State government’s special advisor on finance. In the five years he spent in that position, he piloted the state’s largest-ever bond issue (NGN55 billion), advised on several fiscal policies, and set public and private partnerships.
Two years later, he resumed his entrepreneurship career with Kudimoney, which later became Kuda Bank. In 2021, the tech entrepreneur secured US$55 million series B financing to boost his startup’s presence in Nigeria. The Series B round raised the volume of investments attracted by Kuda Bank since 2019 to US$91.6 million and its value to US$500 million. At the time, Babs Ogundeyi said that Nigeria was an important market to be conquered before thinking about any international expansion.

Currently, Anis Sahbani is an associate professor at the Sorbonne University Pierre and Marie Curie Campus. With his expertise in robotics, he is making his company, Evona Robotics, a pioneer in Africa’s robotics industry.
Anis Sahbani (photo) is a Tunisian entrepreneur, Associate-professor, and robotics specialist. In 2014, he founded Enova Robotics, a company that specializes in robot design and manufacturing.
One of the well-known robots designed by Anis Sahbani is probably PGuard, a fully automated security robot. Initially created for use on industrial sites, airports, and border zones, it is now used by the Tunisian Ministry of Interior to maintain public order. During the coronavirus health crisis, the government used it to enforce lockdown rules. In 2020, speaking on the use of robotics and artificial intelligence to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the robotics specialists explained that robots could be intermediaries protecting humans against possible contaminations.
In a bid to show PGuard’s utility outside the security segment, Sahbani is gradually introducing those robots in the social sector. He also developed Vaesense, a contactless patient monitoring robot. His startup also created MiniLab, an education robot to be used by universities and research labs in teaching robotics.
Enova Robotics is the result of several years of field experience. In 1998, after his electrical engineering degree at the National Engineering School of Tunis (ENIT), in Tunis, Anis Sahbani enrolled at the Paul Sabatier Toulouse III University, France, where he got his Ph.D. in robotics in 2003. In 2014, he became an associate professor at the Sorbonne University Pierre and Marie Curie Campus. The same year, he founded Enova Robotics, which won the pitch fest InvesTech 2021 organized by the US embassy in Jordan in partnership with SelectUSA. This award opened doors to the startup for the SelectUSA virtual summit held in June 2021.

After an extensive experience with several health institutions in England and the United States, Abasi Ene-Obong returned to Nigeria to advance the fight against cancer in Africa. His achievements are gaining increasing recognition and earning him numerous accolades.
Abasi Ene-Obong (photo) is a Nigerian doctor and founder of biotech firm 54Gene, which wants to ‘bridge the disparity gap in genomics data.’ Using translational research and advanced molecular diagnostics, the biotech launched in 2019 also helps fight cancer in Africa and around the world.
“Though the arc of conducting early research through drug approval can belong in biotech, we have taken the approach to building the backbone that is needed for short-term successes to long-term gains that provide better healthcare delivery and treatment outcomes from diseases,” Eno-Obong told Techcrunch.
A Ph.D. holder (in cancer biology from the University of London), the founder has a master's in Human Molecular Genetics (in 2009) from the Imperial College, London. Before founding 54Gene, Abasi Ene-Obong worked as a cancer researcher and published a paper on pancreatic cancer immunology in the Gastroenterology Journal. From 2014 to 2015, he was a research director and consultant for IMS Health (now known as IQVIA), a U.S.-based company offering information, services, and technology in the healthcare industry.
Months later, he became a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) senior associate and healthcare industry advisor in the U.S. In 2017, he spent months as a Lead Consultant for Nigeria's Strategic Health Development Plan. In 2019, Quartz Africa named him one of the most innovative entrepreneurs on the African continent of the year. In September 2020, months after the launch of 54Gene, Abasi Ene-Obong was named in Fortune’s 40 under 40 most influential people in healthcare. The same year, his startup, 54Gene, received the Best Healthcare Technology Solution award from AppsAfrica.
In September 2021, 54Gene raised US$25 million during a series B round led by Cathay AfricInvest Innovation Fund. The operation, which was the third organized by the startup since its creation, brought the overall volume of funding secured to over US$45 million. It was aimed at expanding “54gene's capabilities in sequencing, target identification and validation, and precision medicine clinical trials enabling drug discovery in Africa for both Africans and the global population,” and enabling the startup to “begin its expansion across the African continent.”
"It's truly incredible to witness the impact of African scientists in global research and it is critical to global health that this continues. We want to scale our contribution to global drug discovery by extensively developing life science capabilities on the continent and this additional capital will catalyze our endeavors," Ene-Obong said
Three months later, he created the African Center for Translational Genomics (ACTG), a genetic database managed by the Non-Communicable Diseases-Genetic Heritage Study consortium.

Over the past seven years, Victor Mapunga has been involved in several digital projects. Since 2018, he has been promoting the use of digital identities through FlexID Technologies.
Victor Mapunga (photo) is a Zimbabwean serial entrepreneur, software developer, and CEO of FlexID Technologies, a blockchain startup promoting the use of digital technologies. Through FlexID, the young tech entrepreneur has already served several clients in Africa and Asia. For instance, last year, he provided digital identities to 50,000 patients in Zimbabwe in the framework of a program initiated by healthtech Ubuntu Clinics to improve care and follow-up for its users.
For Mapunga, “harnessing the power of technology in the healthcare sector is paramount in driving cost down and most importantly improving patient outcomes.”
The serial entrepreneur has an extensive and diversified entrepreneurship career. In 2014, he founded GreyMarge Investments to invest in technology, finance, healthcare, logistics, and infrastructure. Months later, he launched an edtech, iLearnfb. In May 2017, he co-founded JustBuy ZW, a mobile app allowing users to post classified ads.
With multiple certifications in technology entrepreneurship earned in the U.S. and the U.K., the Zimbabwean entrepreneur is determined to use digital technologies to foster economic and social development in Africa.

At the end of his University studies, Perseus Mlambo wanted to pursue a legal career but his entrepreneurial drive took the lead, taking him to the African fintech segment. With Union54, he intends to shorten settlement time and decentralize payment card issuance.
Zambian tech entrepreneur Perseus Mlambo (photo) is the co-founder of Union54, a fintech startup decentralizing the issuance of virtual and physical payment cards. Thanks to its API, the startup allows firms to issue branded payment cards without third-party processors or banks.
He launched Union54 in 2021, with Alessandra Martini, to help SMEs easily offer added-value services (loyalty, discount, or credit cards) to their clients. He wants to save them from the painstaking processes he went through to issue debit cards for Zazu, the startup he founded in 2015 to help clients better manage their income.
Perseus is an LLB graduate from Nottingham Law School. He is also a former Ethics Office Support Staff at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. He estimates that it is important to create an alternative debit card issuing network to reduce Africa’s dependence on foreign solutions. With the foreign solutions currently used, Africa can be affected by political decisions and sanctions, he believes.
In April 2022, his startup raised US$12 million in a seed extension round led by Tiger Global. Participating investors included Vibe VC, Earl Grey Capital, and Packy McCormick’s Not Boring Capital. With the proceeds, Union54 will expand its coverage. Currently, the startup claims more than 500,000 virtual cards issued and hours saved for its users.

To fulfill those ambitions, the tech entrepreneur secured US$19 million from angel investors, investment funds, and venture capitalists. Thanks to the funds secured, his startup will enter new markets apart from its current ones, which are namely Egypt and the Philipines. He specifically targets emerging markets in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
Asour has over ten years of professional experience in the utility industry. After his Bachelor of business administration from the American University in Cairo, in 2009, he climbed up the ladder in that industry up till 2018.
Almost all of his professional career was spent with El Sewedy Electrometer Group, a provider of end-to-end metering solutions and services to water, electricity, and gas companies. He held several positions including sales and marketing director.
In 2016, while still working for El Sewedy Electrometer Group, Asour became a director of the board of Prime Alliance AISBL, an alliance that supports the development of smart metering and grid solutions. In 2021, he was one of the participants of the Y Combinator accelerator’s S21 cohort.
