Kopo Kopo enables SMEs to grow and prosper by making mobile money smarter. Kopo Kopo provides small businesses the tools to accept and manage mobile money payments. Kopo Kopo also leverages its digital footprint and understanding of customers’ needs to provide unsecured cash advances to help grow their business.

As Kopo Kopo scaled, its top priority was scaling its technical infrastructure to power its growth. Kopo Kopo partnered with Rippleworks to improve its cloud infrastructure to support regional expansion.

Wayne brought real-world insights, examples, and anecdotes. That helped us visualize how similar problems have been previously been approached, and how we could tackle them in our unique context.

Several recommendations have already borne fruit, and we look forward to seeing the long-term impact of others.
