Stears
Stears is a Nigerian financial data and insights company. The startup offers subscription-based data and insights to businesses and professionals. The company was established to tackle the challenges in getting data-driven insights on the African continent, and focuses primarily on Nigeria. Serena Ventures was one of the investors when the firm recently raised $3.3 million in a seed round.
“One of the reasons I invested in Stears is not because of my love and appreciation for Africa, but because Stears has strategically thought of how to increase the investment community on the continent,” Bloomberg quoted.
“Better and more transparent business and financial data is expected to lead to more investment on the African continent. Stears has shown a deep appreciation of the complexities involved in solving this problem for global professionals. Through a combination of technology and data, Stears is well placed to leverage the massive data opportunity on the continent,” she added.
