About Numida:
There are 20 million micro and small businesses (MSBs) across Africa and traditional microfinance is failing them. Numida is here to fill that gap.
Numida is on a mission to build digital financial services that help small business owners across Africa achieve their dreams. We started by building the best working capital loan product in the market, available to financially excluded businesses. That means instead of borrowing from unregulated informal lenders or family or friends, business owners can apply via the Numida app in minutes, and receive capital within a day.
Since 2021 we’ve provided more than $100 million in working capital to 80,000 businesses in East Africa, and we are excited to do more to serve this $5 billion market. We are Uganda’s first and only YC-backed startup and are also backed by world class investors such as Serena Ventures, Onafriq, Breega, and 4Di Capital.
