Founder's Associate, Carry1st

Carry1st finds itself in a prime position to bridge these gaps by providing game publishing, distribution and, crucially, alternative payment services across Africa. In particular, its eCommerce and payments solutions which allow local options such as bank transfers, mobile money and crypto payments is causing a lot of excitement amongst investors, who are eyeing up a huge but thus far untapped market.

Though founded as a game studio itself in 2018, Carry1st’s shift into publishing has been very wise. Indeed, it’s helped the company attract major investment that will allow the team to develop internally produced titles, including home-grown games for the African market. With gaming revenues set to skyrocket in Africa, Carry1st looks to be on the verge of serious growth.
