Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Nigerian fintech company, Shecluded has been awarded an equity-free grant funding by Google for Startups through the Black Founders Fund Africa to develop its technology-enabled platform for women. The funding will enable Shecluded to provide more access to financial services and business resources to women in Africa.

The grant will be used to build Shecluded’s mobile application – expanding its capacity to simultaneously process thousands of loan applications and service requests. It will also enable the set-up of operations across key regions in Nigeria and West Africa, increase its marketing efforts, and staff strength to meet growing demand.

Founded in 2019 by Ifeoma Uddoh, Shecluded claims to have so far disbursed over $1 million in growth loans. The company says it has also enabled 17,500+ women with access to business development support, wealth advisory, health insurance, credit education, as well as financial and business literacy resources.
