Another week, another move from Wave — but this one changes how operators should think about runway.
The team's bet is simple: expand into three new markets without burning the runway that TLcom Capital just extended.
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.
If it works, the playbook travels — to Côte d'Ivoire and beyond.
What to watch next
- Whether the Series B buys enough runway to reach the next milestone.
- Whether Wave can hold margins while it chases 40% MoM growth.
- How Rwanda's regulators respond over the next two quarters.
The bet is placed. The market will settle it soon enough.
