What's really being tested here is whether an inventory system can survive contact with Côte d'Ivoire'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 runway that made it possible.

Competitors won't sit still. Expect the banks to respond within the quarter.

What to watch next

  • How Côte d'Ivoire's regulators respond over the next two quarters.
  • Whether the bridge round buys enough runway to reach the next milestone.
  • Whether Sendy can hold margins while it chases 80% retention.

The bet is placed. The market will settle it soon enough.
