Tappi offers an end-to-end digital commerce platform that simplifies creating and managing online business profiles for SMEs, helping them showcase products, engage customers, and accept payments. The platform includes partnerships with mobile network operators — currently MTN — enabling businesses to purchase ads using airtime. Tappi also provides an AI tool to generate ad descriptions, addressing a common pain point for small businesses. Founded in 2022 by Kenfield Griffith and Louis Majanja, the company is Africa-based and focused on helping local businesses scale. Tappi plans to use new funding to double down on existing markets, hire talent, and strengthen brand building. The company raised $1.5M in a pre-seed round in December 2023, which supports its near-term growth plans.
