Bamboo is a Lagos, Nigeria-based online brokerage platform — backed by Y Combinator (W20) with $19.4 million in total funding including a $17.4 million Series A in January 2022 from Tiger Global Management, Greycroft, and Y Combinator — providing Africans with access to US stocks, ETFs, and Nigerian stocks through fractional investing from as little as $1, making global capital markets accessible to African retail investors who previously had no low-friction pathway to US equity investing. In December 2024, Bamboo became the first Nigerian fintech to acquire a US Broker-Dealer License — a landmark regulatory achievement that enables direct US market participation. In May 2024, Bamboo launched Nigerian stocks with instant trade settlements and dividend payments, and expanded to South Africa in 2025. Founded in 2018 by Richmond Bassey.
