Most payment stacks treat account and wallet payments as passive methods.
We don’t. Nopan is a specialized PSP built by former large-merchant payment leaders, designed to turn account and wallet payments into measurable revenue drivers. Because performance doesn’t come from technology alone. It comes from how payments are designed, tested, and optimized in real-world environments.

NjiaPay is a payment performance partner built for African businesses that rely on digital revenue. As businesses grow, their payment setup often becomes complicated; multiple providers, payments that don’t always go through, no clear view of what’s working, and extra admin for their teams. Small issues quickly turn into lost revenue. NjiaPay brings clarity and structure to that complexity. We connect businesses to multiple Payment Service Providers through one central layer, routing transactions to the best available option and giving a clear view of how payments are performing. The result? Fewer failed payments. More successful checkouts. A better understanding of where revenue is won or lost. We don’t replace providers. We work across them, helping businesses keep more revenue, reduce unnecessary workload and make better decisions about their payments. Payments should be clear, reliable, easy to manage, and accountable for the revenue they impact. That’s payment performance.

Venture capitalists bump into each other at tech conferences, demo days, tech awards and pitch events. This is great, but we believe we all appreciate and enjoy a more structured agenda of gatherings. Why? Because expanding your professional circle is important and hanging out with likeminded people is fun! VEECEE has been established by a few young venture capitalists, for European venture capitalists. We aim to further ignite passion, share experiences, strengthen our network, and make it easier for international VCs to connect to their peers. Our ultimate goal is twofold: To make us become even more active members of the local startup ecosystem and to share learnings with entrepreneurs, founders and investors. As we want to be helpful, insightful and supportive to the start-up ecosystem, we share posts and anecdotes and cover topics such as pitching, KPIs, valuations, business models, and recruitment. The posts are short and punchy and might bring you in the mind of investors. We also organise distinct workshops for our members, mainly thanks to our sponsors!
