Kenyan startup Tappi expands into Ivory Coast, its third market entry subsequent to successful ventures in Nigeria. Co-founded in 2022 by Kenfield Griffith and Louis Majanja, Tappi aims to transform the digital landscape for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Tappi has led the charge in facilitating digital transformation for SMEs, offering a user-friendly platform for crafting compelling online identities. With over USD 3 million (KES 397.2 million) in verified consumer transactions and a community of over 150,000 engaged users, Tappi has garnered significant acclaim.

In December 2023, Tappi reached a milestone by securing USD 1.5 million (KES 198.6 million) in pre-seed funding from Acasia Ventures and other investors.

Expanding into Ivory Coast, Tappi aims to capitalize on the country’s robust economic growth, with a GDP growth rate of 6.9 percent. Ivory Coast presents an ideal market for Tappi to empower SMEs seeking to digitize operations and expand their customer base.
