The collaboration targets Kenyans residing in the US, UK, Canada, and other countries, enabling them to stay in touch with family, friends, and their businesses.
The company successfully secured $33 million in its Series A funding round, in August, with Left Lane Capital serving as the leading investor. LemFi formed strategic partnerships with organisations such as Y-Combinator, Zrosk, Global Founders Capital, and Olive Tree to achieve the milestone.
Rounding off the year with a high note, LemFi emerged the winner of the Nigerian Tech Product of the Year for 2023.
