24seven co. (Techstars 23')

We provide an ecosystem that serves as a launchpad for our partners (customers), enabling them to operate and scale their businesses in today's dynamic and technology-driven environment. 24seven’s vision is to be the most preferred growth partner delivering superior experience to all stakeholders in the global retail ecosystem while putting Africa first. Small and Medium Enterprises are essential providers of jobs and economic growth in any market. However, they also represent the most underserved business segment. According to IFC, the Nigerian SME space boasts of millions of SMEs accounting for over $ 1 trillion in payments every year and yet, Lagos alone has a gap of over $2.5billion in SME financing. The above suggests that ensuring access to finance for SMEs and ultimately lowering the cost of credit is one of the ways of jump-starting this engine to drive a sustainable economy. 24Seven is a 3-sided marketplace that works with mom & pop grocery stores/retailers in Africa, ensuring access to inventory and delivery services by leveraging a digitized network of distributor hubs and digitally connecting orders to transporters. All while driving catalytic growth in these SMEs using inventory financing and targeted business advisory. We aim at empowering every African business with the use of the most advanced digital technologies across the value chain, mainly midstream to restore the broken flawed system that has affected food security in Africa.
