What We're Building

Business tools that work in the real Africa. Where internet cuts out. Where mobile money is king. Where every shilling counts. Professional software shouldn't cost a fortune or need perfect connectivity.

Why It Matters

Because the entrepreneur in Lusaka deserves the same tools as one in London. Because unreliable internet shouldn't mean unreliable business. Because growth shouldn't wait for infrastructure.

Where We're Going

Seven countries. Twelve mobile money providers. One mission: give every African entrepreneur the tools to compete, grow, and win starting in Zambia, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, South Africa, Ghana, and Uganda.

The Journey

How We Got Here

The story of MOMO LENS starts with a simple question: Why should African entrepreneurs settle for tools that weren't built for them?

2024The Problem

What We Saw

Across Zambia, Kenya, and Nigeria, we met entrepreneurs spending hours each day matching mobile money transactions to sales. Brilliant business owners, stuck doing work a computer should handle. Existing tools? Too expensive. Required perfect internet. Locked you into one payment provider. Something had to change.

Competitors charging £5-30/month plus 1.5-3.5% fees
