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.

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.

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.

Isaiah Amo-Mensah — Advenr

Advenr is bringing reservation culture to Ghana's intercity bus industry: guaranteed seats, digital tickets, fixed departure times for travelers — and advance demand data that lets operators finally plan buses, drivers and fuel before the day begins. Booking takes under three minutes, no account required, with payments powered by Moolre. In this episode of Storyblocs, Isaiah and his co-founders take us inside the build: the real-time seat-locking engine that was their hardest technical problem, the product decisions they reversed, the University of Cape Coast pilot that processed real transactions within days, and their ambition to become the infrastructure layer for how Ghana — and eventually Africa — moves.

Charles Kojo Peprah — Jampolls

Your survey got 14 responses. Nine were friends. Most builders read that silence as apathy — and start guessing instead of asking. Charles Kojo Peprah read it differently. People don't refuse to give opinions; they refuse the format. So he co-founded JamPolls — a platform that turns the questions builders need answered into polls people actually want to tap. One link. Live results. No boring forms. In this Storybloc, Charles makes the case for starting with the question, not the code.

Peter Tokor — Phundit

Last month, a Phundit customer called to complain: 13,000 cedis saved, and only 25 cedis in interest a week. Peter, co-founder and CEO, didn't apologize because an emergency fund is built for capital preservation, not aggressive growth. In this Storybloc, he makes the case for boring money: the fund whose only job is to be there, whole, on your worst day.

Yaw Antwi-Owusu — Printmote

Accra hosts about 921 print shops with almost no accountability for deadlines. Printmote, started mid-2025 by Yaw Antwi-Owusu, coordinates a network of vendors, giving designers a single point of accountability and a money-back reprint guarantee if promises aren’t kept. It bills itself as Africa’s print‑economy growth infrastructure, but its asset-light model faces stability risks as it scales beyond weekly orders.

Biriel NiiArmah Tagoe — Ravenhive

Behind most modern payment dashboards is a broken, legacy banking system. In this Storybloc, Ravenhive Technologies CEO Biriel Tagoe breaks down the architectural reality of cross-border scale. We explore why true innovation requires abandoning surface-level "wrappers" to do the unglamorous heavy lifting: building deep, regulatory-compliant financial rails that actually move capital across the continent.

Elpidio Tossou — Featherycare AI

Ghana spends over $400 million annually importing chicken it could produce at home. The constraint isn't land or labour, it's data. Featherycare AI is building the intelligence layer that African poultry farmers have never had.
