Makeba, with a $30 million pre-money valuation, is raising funds on Wefunder. The company has built a financial ecosystem to combine point-of-sale payments and money transfers into a platform and make the payments highly secure, faster, and cost-effective. The customers get to transact without credit cards or cash, only by using their smartphones. Makeba was founded by Yamandou Alexander in 2016 and has raised over $2.6 million since its inception. The current round of crowdfunding has a minimum target of $99,960 and a maximum target of $699,840, and the funds will be used for product development, salaries, marketing, and hosting and operations. Makeba is fully operational in the first West African market and has been seen its customer base growing 35% each month since its launch in January 2020.
