The problem

Market traders keep accounts in notebooks, so banks can't see their income and won't lend to them.

The solution

Tallybird gives them a simple product that fixes this end to end, priced for small teams and live within a day of signing up.

Who it's for

Small and mid-sized organisations in our home market first.

Market

Bottom-up: ~40k target customers at ~$1,500 a year.

Competition and edge

What people use today

Spreadsheets and enterprise suites that are too heavy for this segment.

Why this team wins

Founders lived this problem for years and already have the first customers lined up.

The team

Kwame spent years on the customer side of this problem; Abena built the technical core at a previous company.

Worked together
1–3 years
