And in a new development, the three-year-old startup confirmed to TechCrunch that it has raised $5 million in seed funding. It is building an operating system for cross-border trade in Africa, helping traders to manage their freight forwarding processes and enabling other value-added services, the company said in a statement. The new funding will look into how the company can improve its efficiency and lower cross-border trading overhead across the continent. The company plans to use the funding to add more people and expand to “three major hubs” across the continent before Q4 2022.
