Tushop raises $3M to scale community group-buying in Kenya

Tushop, the Kenyan social-commerce platform that enables communities in Nairobi to buy groceries more cheaply with free delivery, has secured $3M in a pre-seed funding round, led by 4DX Ventures and with participation from JAM Fund, Breyer Capital, Chandaria Capital, TO Ventures, Golden Palm Investments, FirstCheck Africa, and DFS Lab.

Wasoko (formerly Sokowatch) also joined to make their first strategic institutional investment into Tushop, signalling confidence in the team’s ability to capture the community group-buying opportunity in Africa.

The oversubscribed round included additional participation from a number of angel investors including GB (CEO, Flutterwave), Raja Kaul (President, Sundial Group), Eli Pollak (CEO, Apollo Agriculture), and Ida Mannoh (Director of Growth, Chipper Cash).

The funds will be deployed to grow Tushop’s team, invest in tech to make its platform as easy to use as possible, and to further expand across Nairobi before rolling the service out to other cities in Kenya.

Founded in 2021, Tushop’s mission is to make access to groceries more affordable and more convenient for Kenyans and eventually all Africans. Community group-buying saves consumers up to 60% on groceries compared to buying in supermarkets, dukas, or at “mama mbogas”, while providing the added convenience of free delivery.

Tushop works with “Community Leaders” who collate orders from their neighbours and manage door-to-door deliveries. This not only simplifies last mile delivery, but also gives the Community Leaders additional income for coordinating and delivering orders. Similar community group-buying companies in other markets have achieved significant success, such as Nice Tuan in China and Favo in Brazil.

Tushop Deliveries

The problems that this model solves in Africa are significant. For example, Kenyans on average spend 46% of their income on food (compared to 6% in America, 22% in China, and 16% in Brazil), and while community group-buying is still nascent, the market has enormous potential: Africans spend $260B yearly on food. Currently, the status quo is shopping at dukas, “mama mbogas”, supermarkets, open-air markets, or wholesalers, which are often less convenient and more expensive compared to community group-buying.

Commenting on their rapid growth and strong customer retention, Cathy Chepkemboi, Founder & CEO at Tushop, said, “Tushop is unique in this market because we know the customer – we are our own customers! We have grown up experiencing the problem of unaffordable food on the one hand and the need to have additional ‘side hustles’ on the other because of persistently low incomes. We also have first hand experience of the difficulties manufacturers face when moving goods through a fragmented supply chain, which creates distance between them and the customers they serve. We are therefore hyper-focused on delivering a superior experience for suppliers, ‘side-hustling’ Community Leaders, as well as our end-customers in an integrated manner.”

“We are stoked to be working with some of the leading investors globally and locally who really understand the African space from a logistics, tech, and payments perspective, and look forward to justifying their faith in us with future growth, commercial success, and meaningful social impact. Wasoko’s investment in us is also a validating signal of the work we’ve done so far and we look forward to working closely with them to scale Tushop.”

Peter Orth, Managing Partner at 4DX added, “We think that the market opportunity for Tushop is incredibly large, and that Cathy is the right founder to go after it given her deep understanding of the market, and impressive execution and growth thus far. We’re thrilled to join such a strong team of other investors and advisors to help Tushop become the dominant player in group-buying across Africa.”

Daniel Yu, CEO of Wasoko commented, “It has been great witnessing Tushop’s incredible growth, driven by strong leadership and a team that embodies a true understanding of consumers and their communities. We are excited to work with a team that shares our vision of affordability and equitable distribution of goods across Africa.”

How technology elevated the game of golf

Technological advances have been staggering over the past few decades. It’s safe to say that every industry and every aspect of life has been improved by it, including things outside of the job world, like entertainment and sports. 

Tech has definitely had a huge impact on the sport, both in gameplay and behind-the-scenes big data and statistics. How technology has elevated the game of golf is a prime example of what new tech can do for sports. 

While the general mechanism of play has remained the same, everything else—equipment, courses, clothing, and training—has changed as technology has evolved. 

So what kind of things are we looking at in the golfing world today that we have the technology to thank for? Let’s explore some of the fascinating technological evolution of the sport. 

Artificial Intelligence in Golf Clubs 

Golf club manufacturers are now using artificial intelligence to design and build golf clubs. This means your golf club is being designed by someone who may not be much of a golfer, but they’re excellent analysts and data scientists. 

Machine learning is one of the biggest elements of golf club design these days. An example is Callaway’s Flash Face clubface design. 

While investigating how to create a clubface that would deliver maximum ball speed upon the strike, they used a supercomputer to mix and match 100 impact simulations and 15,000 different clubface designs. 

This led to them discovering some unusual thickness patterns, none of which had been used before. Their final chosen design did deliver what they promised—more ball speed off the clubface. 

This wouldn’t have been possible without artificial intelligence and machine learning. The same kind of technology is also being used to manufacture lighter, more streamlined, and more durable clubs. 

While lightness and durability have advantages, AI helps to find the perfect balance between aerodynamics and performance. 

Tech has also been able to make changes to things like club face angle and add adjustable toe and heel weights so that every shot can be shaped to suit the golfer. 

Golf-Related Apps 

Game Tracking Apps 

Just like any sport or form of exercise, golfers need to keep track of their stats as they add more and more rounds. These days, you can keep track of everything on your smartphone, with golf tracking apps and smartwatches. 

Wearables make it very easy to track things like how many shots you make, driving accuracy, and scoring accuracy. 

You can even get sensors that you place on the end of your club which measure every minute detail. These are then paired up with an app on your smartphone and provide you with detailed data on every aspect of your game. 

These apps can be pretty intelligent too, mixing stat tracking with machine learning. Once the app uses your data to learn how you play, it can also provide strategic shot suggestions, club suggestions, and information about upcoming holes. Like a pocket caddie! 

You can also get golf course information on around 45,000 courses around the world, so wherever you’re planning on playing, you can get a good idea of the lay of the land before you even set foot on the course. 

Swing Analyzing Apps 

You don’t necessarily need to hire a coach to improve your swing anymore. Golf swing analyzer apps are extremely popular and can make a big difference to your game. 

Swing analyzer apps use the sensors built into your phone to gain data on your swing, as well as using your smartphone’s camera to record your swing. The app should provide some information and advice on your swing. On some apps, you can send your swing video directly to your coach for feedback. 

They can get quite detailed. Some apps allow you to view your swing in slow-motion or one frame at a time, so you can carefully scrutinize it and identify weaknesses. In many apps, you can also do a side-by-side comparison, allowing you to see your progress and make sure you’re improving. 

Most will also analyze data like your swing tempo, your backswing and downswing time, launch angle, ball speed, and carry distance. As your swing improves, you can see how these stats change for the better. 

Golf Simulators 

Golf simulators have also risen in popularity in recent years, making golf extremely accessible to almost anyone, at any time. 

While playing a good round of golf typically depends on the weather on the day, golf simulators allow you to play whenever you want. 

If the weather’s bad, you don’t have to worry about getting wet or dealing with nasty winds. Another huge benefit is that you can play a round in the middle of the night if you can’t sleep! 

The courses built into golf simulators are based on courses around the world, including World Championship courses. 

Not only does this give you the opportunity to virtually play courses you may never be able to in real life, but it also offers a level of challenge you wouldn’t be able to get just playing the same courses within your general vicinity. 

But it’s not just fun playing famous courses. The golf simulator tracks your stats and analyzes your every movement. This serves the same purpose as a swing analyzer, providing feedback on your swing and advice on how to change it to improve. 

While golf simulators are like having the golfing world in your living room, they’re quite expensive and take up a lot of space. A golf simulator is an excellent investment if you’ve got the budget. If not, you can get similar feedback from smartphone swing analyzer apps. 

Conclusion 

There’s no denying how technology has elevated the game of golf. At its core, the sport is the same as it’s always been. But with technology making its way into every aspect of the game, it’s definitely vastly different in certain ways. 

The key is to ensure that the game is improved without compromising the integrity of the sport. So far, tech has managed to do that quite well. As for what the future brings, we can only wait and see!

Fifteen youth-led Ghanaian startups to be scaled through the MEST Express Accelerator Program

MEST Africa and the Mastercard Foundation have announced the first cohort of the 2022 MEST Express Accelerator program, an initiative that supports promising early and growth stage startups with training, access to sector specific mentorship, technical and product development advisory services, and legal guidance to help founders and their businesses grow their operations.

Fifteen startups have been selected for this cohort based on their innovative offering, investor readiness, and potential to scale and provide work opportunities for young Ghanaian women and men. The startups are from varied sectors, including fintech, proptech, software as a service (SaaS), agriculture, energy, logistics, human

resources management, and ICT. Graduating startups have the opportunity to receive up to $20,000 in equity-free funding towards further accelerating their growth.

Since September 2020, the Accelerator has supported 12 promising Ghanaian startups with $100,000 in funding and all participating businesses are part of the growing MEST community – receiving continued support from MEST as they make progress in their entrepreneurial journeys.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with the most diverse group of startups we have had to date. Ten industries are represented in this cohort, including our first ever hardware startup. We are also excited to see some of the startups in this cohort using contemporary technologies such as blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and web3 in the delivery of their services. This speaks to the growing awareness and adoption of these technologies within the startup ecosystem in Ghana and we are eager to support startups to build viable business models around these solutions and more. As we kickstart our first cohort this year, we also wish to celebrate the many successes from our previous cohorts, such as Swoove, who have gone on to receive investment from BFA Global’s Catalyst Fund, Tendo receiving backing from YCombinator, and Treepz, which is Ghana’s (formerly Stabus) acquisition by Plentywaka,” said Felix Darko, Program Manager for MEST Express.

The selected ventures join a roster of over 70 startups, including Wi-Flix, Bosea Micro Credit, BezoMoney, and Motito – all graduates of MEST Express. Over the next five months, these 15 companies will work towards ramping up sales and traction, increasing market share, scaling their products, sourcing talent, and creating job opportunities for increased business growth and greater impact.

“As a startup, access to funding opportunities and professional advice has been challenging. Joining the MEST Express Accelerator has given us priceless access to mentorship, networking, and funding opportunities.

Andela launches new platform to power the future of customized work

Andela, the global marketplace for remote technical talent, has announced the launch of its new platform, designed to create a more direct, personalized, and successful hiring experience for both talent and recruiters.

The company, already known for its focus on high-quality global engineering talent from over 100 countries, has now expanded its offering to include designers, product managers, and data talent. To reflect this growth, Andela is also unveiling its new brand identity. These announcements come shortly after Andela closed a $200 million Series E, valuing the company at $1.5 billion.

“Amazon, Apple, and Netflix have changed every aspect of our lives — from how we shop to how we consume culture and everything in between. As a result, personalization has become a basic expectation,” said Jeremy Johnson, CEO and co-founder of Andela.

“This is why we’ve built our new platform — to help talent find jobs that match more than just their technical skills. Instead, we help them find careers that match their lives. This works well for recruiters, too. Instead of wasting time sifting through resumes and screening calls, our platform identifies talent that fits their exact needs, helping companies find top talent in less than two weeks, and often in just two to three days.”

Andela is a global talent network that connects companies with vetted, remote technical talent in emerging markets. Andela’s clients can now choose their level of service – their existing white-glove hands-on supported approach or rapid self-service through their new platform.

The company’s new platform uses data-driven technology and algorithms to make smart match recommendations, instantly. With no lengthy contract periods or unnecessary calls with sales teams, the platform cuts down the time it takes for hiring managers and recruiters to move through the hiring lifecycle. Instead, it focuses on presenting quality talent immediately.

Agnes Muthoni, Director, Andela Learning Community at Andela said “Our data-driven approach to connecting talent with global opportunities now offers personalised and bespoke experiences for recruiters and candidates alike. Talent can now choose offerings that better suit their skills and lifestyle, while recruiters can quickly identify and hire candidates with the right skills and experience for their organization in as little as 48 hours, helping them increase efficiency and productivity”.

To get started on the new platform, hiring managers simply create a company profile, post a job, and can see their curated candidates instantly. Andela’s matching accounts for depth and breadth of skill requirements, timezone and working hour overlaps, industry expertise, and team fit.

Talent can see how well their skills match up to roles via a clean and easy-to-digest graph, helping users — both talent and recruiters — visualize compatibility, including overlap in skills and preferences.

The Andela platform is constantly learning, helping to refine its personalized recommendations. As users accept or reject recommendations, they are also asked for specific feedback. With each bit of feedback, the platform becomes more personalized.

To date, Andela has focused on helping companies build remote engineering teams by giving them access to the best software engineers globally. In fact, hundreds of leading companies like GitHub, Goldman Sachs, and Cloudflare already leverage Andela’s platform to scale their engineering teams quickly and effectively. Today, the company is expanding its offering to include high-quality talent matching in new practice areas: design, data, and product management.

Alongside a new platform, Andela reveals a new visual brand identity meant to better reflect the evolution of both the company as well as the global talent industry that it has helped to spawn. The brand evolution brings a contemporary look while better connecting with the company’s human-centric mission.

“It’s always hard to change a brand that’s become iconic. In many ways, Andela’s brand has been a source of inspiration to software developers around the world who share our belief that brilliance is evenly distributed. That said, brands have to evolve alongside the companies they represent. I’m proud of what the team delivered and excited to show the new Andela to the world.” says Johnson.

Old Mutual Ghana pays courtesy call on South African High Commissioner to Ghana

Old Mutual Ghana, led by the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tavona Biza, has paid a courtesy call on the South African High Commissioner to Ghana, Her Excellency Grace Jeanet Mason.

Mr. Biza, who was accompanied by the Head of Marketing and Customer Experience at Old Mutual Ghana, Rita Adu Boateng, said the meeting served as an opportunity to discuss ways to deepen collaborations and investment opportunities between businesses in Ghana and South Africa.

“We have been operating in Ghana for over nine years, but as a business birthed in South Africa about 176 years ago, it is always important for us to meet and collaborate with the high commissioner’s office and also seek their perspective on where they are seeing growth opportunities and how we can tap into these opportunities.

This meeting is, therefore, for us to work more and a bit closer together. Also, as a responsible business doing great things within the Ghanaian market, we both have the intention of adding value to Ghana, “he added. 

Mr. Biza touched on some major investments made by Old Mutual, such as the Onix Accra 1. He explained this investment as proof of the company’s commitment to Africa. Old Mutual, together with Onix, acquired Ghana’s Tier IV facility as the first and only tier 4 collocation carrier-neutral data center in West Africa. It is also expected to be the largest operational data center in Ghana, providing physical space, power, cooling, connectivity, and security to customers.

On her part, the South African High Commissioner, Her Excellency Grace Jeanet Mason, stressed that the purpose of the meeting was to look at further collaborations and also offer assistance to South African institutions and businesses in Ghana through investor aftercare, as well as ensure economic recovery post-COVID-19 recovery of the two economies.

“This is part of the ongoing collaboration we have with our South African partners to ensure more investment comes into Ghana and also for the mutual benefit of both countries and their economies,” she said. She also stressed that her High Commission supports South African investors through post-investment support to ensure that investment projects are sustainable and profitable.

She commended Old Mutual for its consistent hard work in ensuring that people are always living in confidence through their numerous insurance policies. “Insurance companies are critical to any economy’s growth and development. The fact that Old Mutual Ghana has been in existence for over a century is great proof of the many opportunities the company provides in insurance and pensions.”

Her Excellency Mason, touching on the company’s acquired asset, the Onix Data Center in Accra, gave the assurance that this was part of Old Mutual’s $25 million investment in Ghana and would be officially unveiled before the end of the second quarter of 2022. The Data Center is partly powered by solar energy, which helps to reduce its carbon footprint in its immediate locality as well as contribute to the exponential growth of Africa’s digital economy.

About Old Mutual Ghana

Old Mutual Ghana is Ghana’s top 10 leading financial institution offering innovative insurance services. Founded in South Africa, Old Mutual has been consistent in championing mutually positive futures by offering excellent financial services to a wide range of customers across the African continent.

NFTs are the next frontier for the African digital and arts economy

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are being talked about a lot more these days and Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange has taken the opportunity to provide some answers to questions on NFTs.

Q: Kindly give a detailed explanation of what NFTs are.

A: NFT stands for non-fungible token and is a secure digital file that validates ownership, and is stored on the blockchain, where each NFT can represent a unique digital item, and thus is not interchangeable. No two NFTs are the same. NFTs can represent digital files such as art, audio, videos, certificates, items in video games and other forms of assets in the physical world. While the item itself can be copied, the NFT that includes certification of ownership cannot be duplicated. NFTs allow creators to earn by tokenising their work.

Q: The focus appears to be art. What are some other areas and applications where NFTs can be applied?

A: In general, NFTs help verify authenticity and prevent piracy and so, beyond art, this is valuable in multiple industries. It can be used to provide proof of ownership in real estate (title deeds), in-game assets in GameFi, ticketing at events, storage of medical records, ensuring product authenticity amongst others. While lots of use cases are still in their infancy, there are numerous everyday applications for NFTs.

Q: There are concerns that NFTs and other elements of decentralized finance (DeFi) are driven entirely by speculation and not value. What is your response to this?

A: At its core, DeFi enables open, free, and fair financial markets that are accessible to anyone with an internet connection. By this alone, the value is immense. Users typically engage through decentralized apps and tokens, most of which run on Ethereum, BNB Chain and so on. There’s however no doubt that some – for example tokens are driven by speculation. This is why at Binance, we always encourage everyone to do their due diligence and ensure they research as much as they can.

It’s important to also think about what people value today and why they pay for gaming items e.g pokemon cards or for blue checkmarks on Twitter, same reason why people care about how many followers they have on Instagram, digital items have value to them whether it’s for social status or a thing of special interest, the same trend applies to NFTs.

Q: Regulators are skeptical of DeFi and recent events give credence to their concerns. What can be done on the part of DeFi players to better engage regulators?

A: Decentralized entities are run by distributed communities, with no central authority. As such, for regulators to engage, they will typically interface with the on-ramps which could be fiat-to-crypto exchanges to ensure they incorporate due diligence and know-your-client initiatives.

As a company, we believe regulatory collaboration with key stakeholders in the blockchain ecosystem is essential. We at Binance are actively keeping abreast of ever-changing policies in the crypto industry and continue to take a collaborative approach in working with regulators, ensuring a fair playing field – as consumer protection is important to all of us.

Capture ultra clear images, captivating true-to-life colours, beauty from afar and more with the futuristic HUAWEI P50 Pro camera!

If you want to spruce up your social media game with beautiful photos and videos, there are two ways to go about it. The traditional way is to get a dedicated camera and then customise it using lenses, filters, accessories and so on. As you can imagine, the cost can add up pretty fast. But that is the cost of going for the artisanal photography experience. Another more efficient and easier way in this day and age is to get a smartphone with the best camera capabilities, like the HUAWEI P50 Pro — the best camera phone with an aesthetic design.

This phone introduces the first Dual-Matrix Camera system and some pretty insane imaging technology. Smartphone photography has to come to the point where the HUAWEI P50 Pro might suffice for most of your photography needs, be it for social media or sharing pictures with your friends and family. But let’s dive deep into it and look at all the ways that the HUAWEI P50 Pro shoots exceptional images.

Zero-compromise picture quality and colour accuracy

The Super Main Camera Matrix on HUAWEI P50 Pro comprises the powerful Main Camera Matrix and SuperZoom Matrix. The hardware is integrated with the Super High-res Image Processing Engine, resulting in images that are brighter, shot with more light taken in, cleaner and more detailed.

HUAWEI P50 Pro debuts with support for a revolutionary physics-defying innovation, the HUAWEI XD Optics, which addresses image quality improvement in completely new ways. Then there is the XD Fusion Pro, an advanced solution that incorporates a new Super Colour Filter system, True-Chroma Image Engine and Super HDR technology that improves details, colours and dynamic range.

Thanks to all of these, the HUAWEI P50 Pro brings exceptional refinement in colours, image quality, focusing speed and image stabilisation. In short, every aspect of mobile photography has been improved, enabling you to capture stunning photos and videos with no fuss. In group photos, each subject looks clear, with minimal noise, even when you zoom in. In low-light conditions, the cameras can still capture detailed images, with your subjects looking well illuminated.

A huge part of photography is about capturing accurate colours. To capture colours as close to what human eyes see, Huawei tweaked over 2,000 colours in the colour spectrum. As a result, the HUAWEI P50 Pro can faithfully reproduce colours and pick out even subtle differences in shades.

Take red lipsticks as an example; there are many different shades of red lipsticks. The differences between the shades in those lipsticks can be subtle, but the results they produce are not. But the HUAWEI P50 Pro can accurately identify the minute differences between various shades of the same colour and perfectly reproduce the differences on the screen. The periscope zoom lens on the phone has a zoom range of up to 200 times.

So, instead of moving closer to your subjects, you can bring them closer using the zoom lens. This is an extremely handy feature when you are trying to photograph wildlife or sports events. For steady telephoto photography, the camera system on the HUAWEI P50 Pro features next-generation AIS Pro True-Steady Shot.

Say goodbye to blurry photos

If you are snapping pictures of moving subjects like children, pets, or even basketball players on the court, photos of them may come out blurry. This happens when the focusing is not fast enough to catch up with those darting athletes or scampering kids. But as HUAWEI P50 Pro features high-speed autofocus, zero-latency shutter, smart metering, motion blur reduction and more, you don’t have to worry about missing any decisive moment in your life.

Ultra-wide selfie camera

So far, we have only talked about the rear camera system of the HUAWEI P50 Pro. But the front camera of the phone is just as impressive. On the front of the phone is a 100-degree ultra-wide True-Chroma Selfie Camera, which performs well for self-portraits, large group selfies and photos with magnificent landscapes.

So, that is the long and short of it. The HUAWEI P50 Pro has cameras that makes the best use of hardware and software features to produce stunning pictures that can rival dedicated consumer cameras. But if you want more reasons to own this smartphone, it is also a beautifully designed phone with the Dual Matrix camera design, packs a large 4360mAh battery that supports 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge, and gives you all the convenience of futuristic Super Device features.
