About

Waza is a Lagos-based B2B cross-border payments platform enabling businesses in Africa and other emerging markets to make and receive international payments — solving the specific challenge of settling transactions across currencies and financial systems where correspondent banking relationships are limited, FX rates are poor, and traditional wire transfers are slow and expensive. Founded in 2022 by Emmanuel Igbodudu and Maxwell Obi and a Y Combinator W23 graduate, Waza raised $8 million, processes $700 million in annualized payment volume, reached profitability in Q4 2023 while maintaining 20% monthly growth, and launched Lync as a multi-currency account platform.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
