The team's bet is simple: win enterprise clients without burning the runway that Tiger Global just extended.

Why it matters

Capital buys time; execution buys the market.

For most founders, the lesson isn't the raise — it's the discipline around pricing that made it possible.

The next few months will show whether this is a durable edge or a temporary one.

What to watch next

  • Which rivals move first, and how incumbents counter.
  • Whether the Series A buys enough runway to reach the next milestone.
  • How Zambia's regulators respond over the next two quarters.

Founders watching from Kigali should take notes: this is how you win enterprise clients.
