I am an social Technopreneur and Founder of Annita LLC, an Africa-wide digital ecosystem built to bring e-commerce, fintech, AI, logistics, marketing, customs solutions and more together into one connected system for MSMEs, governments, and strategic partners across the continent. I started building Annita LLC from zero in 2021, bootstrapping it into an ecosystem now serving thousands of MSMEs across the continent, with no outside capital behind the early growth. That path taught me the hard lessons that most founders eventually run into: how to build for trust in low-infrastructure markets, how to grow lean without burning out your team, and how to turn traction into a story that investors and institutions actually believe.
Along the way, Annita’s work has been recognized by the African Union, the United Nations, WIPO, and other global platforms, and I’ve had the chance to represent the continent’s builders in rooms most African founders never get access to, but the recognition matters less to me than what it opens up, more doors for the founders coming up behind me.
I mentor because someone once made time for me before I had traction, a title, or proof that any of this would work. I want to be that for other founders, especially those building for underserved markets with limited resources. I bring practical experience in go-to-market strategy, product growth, fundraising positioning, and building ecosystems, not just products, in emerging markets. If you’re early, resource constrained, and serious about building something real, I’d like to help.
I mentor to give back what was given to me early on, honest guidance from people who had no reason to help except that they believed in the work. Having built Annita from the ground up in a resource-constrained market, I want to help other founders navigate the same terrain, especially around go-to-market, growth, and positioning for investors. I’m also genuinely curious about the industries and problems founders on this platform are tackling, and open to connections that could benefit Annita or the founders I work with.
