SR2 are very excited to be working closely with Capi Money to grow their engineering team. Now they are on a hypergrowth journey, looking for great engineers who care about making an impact.
About the Company:
Capi helps businesses in Africa pay their international suppliers. Goods importers in Africa pay up to 10% to settle invoices and wait weeks for payments to arrive. We’re on a mission to give businesses in Africa the same price and speed as we expect in the US and Europe.
A fast-growing Series-A start-up. We’ve raised over $18m from Creandum, Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Firstminute, Janngo, Kima Ventures, and some great angels from Revolut, Checkout, Stripe, Onfido, and Remitly.
Capi was founded by Mitch Riley, Scott Liddle, and Tom Watson. Mitch and Scott were COO/CFO/GC and CRO/CMO at Taptap Send, a remittance unicorn, and have spent two decades between them working in emerging markets. Tom is a third-time founder having founded Hubble and P4SD.
