The Breakthrough

Agboola co-founded Flutterwave and leads the payments-technology company as founder and CEO.

Why It Matters

Flutterwave represents a central challenge in African digital commerce: making it easier for businesses and institutions to move money across payment methods, banks and borders.

The Technology

Payments APIs and infrastructure connecting merchants, financial institutions, local payment rails and cross-border commerce.

Builder's Lesson

In fragmented markets, integration itself can be a major product. The company that connects systems can become infrastructure for everyone building on top.
