MAX is not just about providing transportation; it’s also building a digital infrastructure to revolutionize mobility by making it sustainable. In the latest episode of The Trajectory Africa, Adetayo Bamiduro, Co-Founder and CEO of MAX, shares how they're using asset-based lending to finance electric vehicles and build a greener future. Listen to the full episode to learn more. #Mobility #Transportation #Sustainability #Infrastructure #Technology #Innovation #Africa #Startup #GlobalSouth
Back in Episode 7 of The Trajectory Africa's first series, Barbara Iyayi, CEO & Founding Partner of Unicorn Growth Capital made a strong statement about the ubiquity of financial services, arguing that every company should be a fintech company. Because as long as financial exclusion is a huge problem, every company should be able to offer financial services. This is the essence of embedded finance, which McKinsey defines as placing a financial product in a nonfinancial customer experience, journey, or platform. In the previous episode’s conversation with Tunzaa’s Ng’winula Kingamkono, we learned about how an embedded finance model called Save now, Buy later enables responsible consumption. In this episode, we’ll hear from Adetayo Bamiduro, Co-Founder and CEO of MAX, a company that’s powering eco-friendly mobility through high performance electric vehicles. So, we’re keeping the assets, but shifting from consumption to production. And in this case the finance is democratizing access to vehicles for mobility entrepreneurs. But MAX isn’t just helping riders and drivers finance productive assets, it’s building the digital infrastructure needed to reimagine the mobility space with environmental sustainability at its core. Asset-based lending as an engine for EV-led mobility? Let’s dig in… PS HUGE thanks to Mishelle de León of Capria Ventures for the connection to MAX and additional help! https://lnkd.in/gPQNf5HS

Shronit Ladhani & I had the incredible opportunity to represent LearnTube on prime time CNBC-TV18 yesterday! It has been a surreal feeling, mostly because we weren't sure it would even happen. You shoot every shot, take every chance, and sometimes things work out all together :) I've never been one for dream "checklists" - it's always been about being heads down & working at the goal. But if there was a checklist, CNBC would've definitely been on it! In our 5-minute slot, we spoke about our inclusion in Google for Startups Top 20 AI startups and LearnTube.ai's vision to make high-quality, interactive learning available to youth globally. A huge thanks to the CNBC-TV18 & particularly the Startup Street team for valuing a young startup's opinion. Special mention to Ritu Singh & Shruti Malhotra - it's women like you who keep news relevant :) Feelings & thoughts, not in order of importance: - The team screaming, cheering & the smiles on their faces - My dad's text: "First in the family on TV, beta!" - Hope this PR helps more people know about LearnTube & aids our mission We're grateful for this opportunity and excited for what's next! Watch our feature here: https://lnkd.in/dMMcrbmK P.S: If I look nervous in the video, it's because I was. We went with under 5 minutes of prep & weren't expecting to be on camera!
