OPESHA Solutions
Grow
Founded by John Wangombe, a former banker who saw firsthand how traditional systems failed promising small businesses, OPESHA Solutions was created to make access to finance smarter, fairer, and more inclusive. John’s experience across retail banking, risk, and loan recoveries exposed a systemic problem: viable SMEs were routinely denied funding or trapped in unsuitable loan products.
Driven by a belief that when SMEs thrive, communities prosper, OPESHA built an AI-powered credit profiling and loan-matching platform that connects entrepreneurs to a network of vetted funders through a multi-funder marketplace. The technology improves transparency, reduces bias, and ensures businesses are matched with the right type of finance for their needs.
With a mission to empower African SMEs through data-driven access to finance, OPESHA envisions becoming the continent’s leading SME finance gateway, fueling entrepreneurship, job creation, and sustainable development while redefining how capital flows across Africa’s growing economies.
