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

Why it matters

Capital buys time; execution buys the market.

The move reframes retention for anyone building in Nigeria: get the fundamentals right before you scale.

If it works, the playbook travels — to Ethiopia and beyond.

What to watch next

  • Whether Yoco can hold margins while it chases 80% retention.
  • Which rivals move first, and how telco wallets counter.
  • How the a payroll tool performs outside the launch market.

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