Egyptian Fintech Startup Hollydesk Receives $325,000 in Pre-seed Funding

Hollydesk, a Cairo-based fintech, has launched a $325,000 pre-seed funding round led by angel investor Faisal Abdel Salam, who was joined by additional investors.

Hollydesk manages and follows up on corporate costs and Egyptian accounts seeking funding as a fintech company. Hollydesk’s expansion goals to other nations will be aided by the new cash received.

Hollydesk was formed in June 2021 by Mahmoud Moussa, the CEO, to provide technical solutions that enable SMEs to track and control their everyday spending. Employees can then seek payments and reimbursements via the Hollydesk app, which connects company members.

This program demonstrates that accountants can communicate instantly, and budget approvals can be obtained faster than traditional ways. There is also a simpler way to link the system’s suppliers, vendors, and purchasers.

Mahmoud Moussa, CEO of Hollydesk, expressed his delight at the company’s new investment, stating that it will allow for growth and horizontal expansion of the company’s services.

“We intend to use the new funding to design technologies for our solutions, implement other services that will be announced soon with other Egyptian banks, and assign new competencies within the team to achieve financial inclusion, particularly for workers in small and medium businesses,” says the company CEO.

He also indicated that there are plans to provide other solutions, such as funding and solutions, to assist these businesses in achieving greater growth in this industry.


Hollydesk has been the first financial technology business in Egypt to be sponsored in the field of managing SMEs costs and accounts as a result of this funding.

“The company is providing digital solutions that bridge the gap that many small and medium-sized businesses in the Middle East and North Africa suffer from,” said lead investor Faisal Abdul Salam.

One of the most significant factors in a startup’s success is the team’s level of harmony and integration, which we witness in the Hollydesk team.

Their belief, particularly in the concept of their initiative, is strong, and we were encouraged to invest and help them, he continued.

Lars Johannisson, the Managing Director for Africa, Tek Experts, and Elev8, spoke about the achievement, saying that having Nigeria as the company’s largest market of operations globally demonstrates the company’s commitment to developing the tech support sector in Nigeria and Africa, as well as nurturing talent in the country through its sister company, Elev8.

“We appreciate the importance of tech support in driving our customers’ brand and overall customer experience,” he says. “We’re in a unique position to help companies make the most of their existing customer support efforts by driving product adoption, increasing renewal rates, and ultimately increasing top-line revenue growth.

We invest heavily in digital skills and employee development, growing a skilled workforce for the ICT industry. Many of the services we offer to our customers require technical expertise. We offer both a place to build IT skills and a place to leverage those skills with work possibilities supporting some of the most cutting-edge technology for some of the world’s most well-known firms at Tek Experts.”

“We want to be acknowledged as the employer of choice in every market in which we operate. We want the investments we make in our workers’ professional development to provide them with opportunities for advancement and allow them to establish a career they are proud of at a company that they feel fully supported by,” Lars said.

Over the past two years, Tek Experts has worked with Microsoft to provide technology skills training and on-the-job apprenticeship for real-time engineering projects and deliverables to Nigerian youngsters.

Asilimia Raises $2M in a Pre-Seed Round, Plans to Expand in East Africa

Asilimia, a Kenyan fintech company has raised $2 million in a pre-seed round with aspirations to lend to MSMEs and grow across East Africa.

The economy of Kenya is powered by informal businesses, these contribute 33.8% to the country’s GDP, it also provide 83.4% of the total employment outside small-scale agriculture. This data was gotten from the country’s bureau of statistics. The contribution of these businesses is very important to the economy of the country, yet, they remain under-served by traditional financial institutions making it difficult for them to access the financing needed to grow.

The financing gap left by the conventional banking institutions has given an opportunity for leading to the birth of financial technology startups like Asilimia and for innovation. Asilimia has been giving a lifeline to traders in Kenya for over three years by allowing them to make mobile money transactions devoid of transfer charges, through its app known as Leja app.
Having now secured $2 million pre-seed funding ($1 million equity and $1 million debt), the fintech company is headed for its next stage of growth, it is a stage that will involve giving loans to traders, extending relief to the subgroup that is often left out and referred to as high risk by the traditional banking sector.

Funding for equity came from various investors like Fredrik Jung Abbou (a two-time unicorn founder and Norrsken Impact Accelerator, while the one for the debt round had investors like French Public Investment Bank (Bpifrance) and Green Tec Capital Partners come through. Asilimia is set to use the funding to hire talents, as it looks forward to fine-tuning its technology and also expanding another market in East Africa. Asilimia also has plans of granting loans to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), according to the data from Leja app.

The co-founder and CEO of Asilimia told TechCrunch, “We have entered a phase where we are exploring ways in which we can extend the much-needed credit enabling traders to buy equipment or products to sustain their enterprises”.

Morgane Kablan is the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and co-founder of Asilimia.

Asilimia is exploring growth opportunities in other regions beyond East Africa because it seeks to continue bridging the financing gap that is presently being experienced by traders across the continent.

Funda Sezgi, Norrsken Impact Accelerator co-founder and managing Director said MSMEs play important roles across Africa, and making it easier for them to succeed will be good for the continent as a whole.

“Tekwane and the team have built a solution that works and we are delighted to be supporting them as they drive prosperity in a key sector for the African economy”, Sezgi said.

Cryptocurrency: Freezing or Closure of Bank Accounts Not Supported by Law

Cryptocurrency: Freezing or Closure of Bank Accounts Not Supported by Law

Nigeria’s Blockchain Industry Coordinating Committee (BICCON) has said freezing or closing bank accounts is not supported by law. Despite the ban on trading and facilitating payment for cryptocurrency in Nigeria through banks in Feb 2021 by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Crypto trading is still booming and now the government is going about with the freezing and closure of accounts of suspected traders.

 According to BICCON, a coalition of Nigeria’s leading crypto and blockchain advocacy group, the freezing and closure of bank accounts is not supported by law and has asked affected traders to seek legal redress and restitution in the court of law.

In the official statement released, BICCON challenges the code of conduct of deposit money banks (DMBs), Nonbank Financial Institutions (NBFIs), and also other Financial Institutions (OFIs) that are blocking, closing, and/or freezing bank accounts of individuals or corporate bodies engaged in the trading of cryptocurrency or any transaction related to crypto.

The committee maintains that no financial institute should freeze, restrict, or close accounts on the basis of being a cryptocurrency trader as the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s present legal framework is not in support of this act.

In other words, BICCON also uses this avenue to restate its assumptions that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is encroaching on the Nigerian Legislatures as it is only the lawmakers who can criminalize crypto trading and that CBN is only a regulator.

“Since 5 February 2021, a good number of individuals and entities have had their accounts shut down…Though as the regulator, the CBN has the statutory authority to delimit banking operations, the ordering of banks and other financial institutions to freeze or close accounts suspected to be in use for cryptocurrency may not be supported by law. The reason is that there is presently no legislation by the National Assembly criminalizing or illegalizing the trade of cryptocurrency in Nigeria.”

The advocacy group insists that the CBN’s memo sent to banks needs to be reviewed and failure to do so  “will set a dangerous precedent in the country.” 

While BICCON is against the “undue discrimination” against Nigeria’s blockchain and cryptocurrency industry, the group is willing to collaborate with concerned law enforcement agencies, stakeholders, regulators, and the government to sort the aims and objectives of Cryptocurrency, its benefits to the economy as well as how it can be duly regulated.
