E8 MyStash - Christiana Okere

Christiana is not your typical fin-tech entrepreneur - she started off in the Agric-tech space with Indigi foods but decided to pivot to fin-tech after a huge realization during a brainstorming session with her team. After some time deliberation with her partners on how difficult it was for Nigerians to save money, they decided to launch a platform that would enable Nigerians save money while earning interest. This is what led to MyStash, a company that was launched last year and has recently closed its $150,000 angel round. Although she's a co-founder, she operates as the COO of the company and they have managed to exponentially grow the team over the past year. MyStash has huge goals for the future and have set strong targets for themselves. They aim to raise their seed round to expand and reach more people later this year. She has also taken time to educate herself about the fin-tech space and recently graduated from the DreamVC program which is designed to educate those looking to break into the VC space.
