About

MarketForce is a Nairobi, Kenya-based B2B platform that has undergone a significant strategic pivot — originally operating a B2B retail marketplace (RejaReja) and merchant inventory financing platform for Africa's informal retailers, raising $84.8 million in total funding including a $40 million Series A in 2022 (the largest Series A in East and Central Africa at the time) at over $100 million valuation, backed by Y Combinator (W20) with $60 million+ in annualized transaction volume and 40% month-over-month growth, before winding down the B2B e-commerce business in April 2024 and launching Chpter — an AI-powered conversational social commerce platform enabling African merchants to sell through WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok.
