What's really being tested here is whether an inventory system can survive contact with Egypt's real economy.

Why it matters

In this economy, unit economics are the strategy.

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

  • Whether Paystack can hold margins while it chases 1M users.
  • How Egypt's regulators respond over the next two quarters.
  • Whether the Series B buys enough runway to reach the next milestone.

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