The funding

Both Wapi Capital and Transsion Future Hub and Wapi Capital will work together to select early-stage African fin-tech companies, in September 2019. The selected fin-tech companies will get equity-based investments of up to $100,000.

However, Wapi Capital says it won’t contribute funds to Future Hub’s Africa investments. Therefore, the company will only help determine the viability and scale of the startups. That includes the due diligence and deal flow of the startup.

The opportunity is open for any startups from all 54 African countries.

Transsion investment in Africa

Transsion plans to have a various investment in Africa. Thus, Wapi Capital fin-tech partnership is not the only Transsion’s Venture Capital (VC) activity in the continent. It plans to also invest in other startups in Africa. The startups range from ad-tech, e-commerce, logistic, media and entertainment.

Besides, Transsion Future Hub’s current partnership includes Phoenix and Scoop. Phoenix is an Africa-focused browser company, meanwhile, Scoop is a content aggregator. Other than those two companies, Transsion currently also has cooperation with Boomplay. Boomplay is an Africa music platform.

Transsion’s commitment to African startup investments comes as the company is on the verge of listing on China’s new Nasdaq-style STAR Market tech exchange. Transsion mentioned the IPO is in process and that it could raise up to 3 billion yuan (or $426 million).
