Zap Africa, a pioneering Nigerian software development company, is marking its first anniversary in grand style. The ambitious startup, dedicated to building secure, accessible, and transparent crypto tools to drive financial inclusion, has successfully raised $300,000 in pre-seed funding.
This significant milestone was spearheaded by Benjamin Oyemonlan, CEO of Platnova, a prominent fintech company providing cutting-edge payment solutions globally.
