We raised a $4.9M seed round backed by Flourish Ventures, Visa Ventures, TLcom Capital, Stellar Development Foundation, 4DX Ventures, and Antler. We've also partnered with Tether to expand stablecoin access across the continent. We're licensed in the US, Canada, the EU, and key African market
Our values: Agency · Work ethic · Sense of urgency · Attention to detail · Curiosity
We're looking for a highly ambitious operator who wants to accelerate their path to becoming a tech executive — or founding their own startup. In this role, you'll work side-by-side with our CEO across every part of the business: strategy, fundraising, partnerships, and operations. You'll need a high operational IQ, a bias for action, and the ability to context-switch and execute at speed.
This is the most direct path to earning the skills, network, and experience needed to launch and lead your own venture.
What you will own from day one
- CEO calendar and prep - scheduling, priorities, pre-meeting notes. Make sure every meeting has a purpose and outcome. Protect time and be comfortable saying no.
- Moonshot partnerships - research partners, prep decks, run follow-ups, keep things moving without being chased.
- Wild bets and projects - take a project end to end. Get inputs, align people, ship it.
- Fundraise support - investor decks, updates, data room, coordination, tracking conversations.
- Basic structure and process - trackers, templates, weekly cadence so nothing gets dropped.
Non-negotiables
- Super organised and reliable. If you say you will do something, it gets done.
- Can take messy, unclear situations and turn them into a plan with clear next steps.
- Strong writing and slides. You can make a clean deck fast.
- Comfortable talking to senior people and confident following up.
- 2 to 4 years in a fast-paced environment: startup, VC, consulting, or investment banking.
Nice to have
- Payments or fintech background
- Helped with partnerships or fundraising before
- Startup experience
Profiles that tend to thrive
- BizOps, chief of staff, or founder's office at a startup
- Strong EA who also handles decks and projects
- Consulting or IB — only if hands-on and able to execute
What success looks like in 3 to 6 months
- The CEO's week feels under control. We are not constantly reacting.
- Partnerships and big bets move faster because someone is driving the details.
- Decks, materials, and updates are consistently tight and ready when needed.
- Simple processes exist and actually get used.
