Fundvestor: Why African Founders Spend Years Chasing Investors
Diane Akuffo — FundVestor
It takes months and months, sometimes years, chasing investors all the time — and founders don't even know if the investors they're chasing are genuinely interested." In this episode of Storyblocs, Diane Akuffo, founder of Fundvestor, an AI-powered platform connecting African founders to investors who are genuinely interested in what they're building. Fundvestor works both ends of the problem: investor readiness (pitch deck review, business plans, financial projections) and real matching, so founders stop chasing cold contacts and start talking to the right rooms. Inside the platform, founders across 20+ countries have already requested $150 million in funding.
The Startup Stopping Students from Skipping Class
Owusuwaa Maame Abena — Chex Ghana
Every morning, parents assume their kids make it to class—but what happens when they don't? A full week passed before one teacher noticed an empty seat, and that gap in communication sparked the creation of Chex Ghana. In this Storyblocs feature, we sit down with the founders of Chex, a Kumasi-based edtech startup competing in the 2026 Moolre Startup Cup. Chex is replacing the flawed paper register with a biometric gate scanner and a streamlined classroom app. By leveraging Moolre’s SMS, USSD, and Collections APIs, Chex ensures parents are notified the moment their child is late or absent, while keeping schools running efficiently.
Ending Ghana's One-at-a-Time Payment Problem — The Swife Story
Davis Boabeng — Swife
Every day, Ghanaian businesses and families do the same tedious thing: open MTN MoMo, send a transfer. Open Telecel Cash, send another. Open the banking app for the next. One person at a time, however many people they owe. Davis Boabeng grew up watching his mother, a businesswoman in Ghana's informal economy, go through exactly that ritual to pay employees, suppliers, and issue customer refunds. That stress became Swife: a bulk payments platform where you upload a list of recipients, and Swife verifies every name, detects every network, and pays everyone — across MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, AT Money and every Ghanaian bank — in a single click. In this episode of Storyblocs, Davis takes us inside the build: the name-verification layer that checks every recipient before a cedi moves, the USSD rail that reaches people without smartphones, and the ambition to make Swife a household name in how Ghana moves money. Swife is built on Moolre's Wallet, Collections, Disbursements, USSD and SMS APIs, and is competing in the 2026 Moolre Startup Cup — a four-month national buildathon with GHS 250,000 in prizes across 21 awards.
