After raising a Series A round, meQasa went on to become the largest online real estate marketplace in Ghana and acquired their largest competitor, Jumia House.
Four years after receiving seed funding from MEST, they became Pan-African, launching in four countries across Africa, and serving some of the continent’s most prominent churches.
After their launch, TrotroTractor gained lots of traction from established players in Ghana’s agritech space. Their growth exceeded set KPIs in the first three months of operation, and they were able to make revenue and prove concept.
