Nigerian startup Bumpa, a one-stop-shop for retail merchants in Africa, plans international growth after seeing impressive early uptake and banking pre-seed funding. Launched in February 2021 by Kelvin Umechukwu and Adetunji Opayele, Bumpa helps merchants move their business online without the need for programming skills. We like to think of Bumpa as the Shopify for Africa, built by Africans who have context on issues that affect African retailers,” Opayele said. The product has all the tools merchants need to manage and grow their businesses online with ease.”Early uptake has been impressive. The startup has onboarded thousands of merchants and listed over 30,000 products, and plans further growth after securing funding in September.
