African startups and growth-stage companies are increasingly looking beyond their home markets. But few conversations focus on what that expansion really costs.
Beyond entering new markets lies a different challenge: fragmented payment systems, foreign exchange (FX) volatility, settlement delays, and infrastructure that wasn’t built for businesses to operate across borders.
So what separates companies that scale globally from those that stall at the border?
Join us for the next edition of Moonshot Conversations with Idorenyin Obong, chief executive officer and co-founder of Grey; Chijoke Dozie, co-founder & director at Carbon; Ruth Iselema, founder of Changera; and Adebiyi Aromolaran, VP of Operations at MENAT Global. Moderated by Muktar Oladunmade, Senior Reporter and Desk Lead at TechCabal, the conversation will unpack the infrastructure decisions, operational lessons, and financial strategies behind building businesses that are global by design.
