About Mina Shahid

Co-Founder and CEO of Numida. I'm a two time founder and along with Numida's CTO I previously worked on another lending company in Ghana that failed. I'm Egyptian and Canadian and have lived and worked in Uganda, Ghana, Zambia and Colombia. I fundamentally believe that the growth of micro and small businesses in Africa is the key to economic prosperity for hundreds of millions of people!

Companies & Work

Numida

Numida

Numida provides working capital loans to African micro businesses. Instead of borrowing from informal lenders or family, micro business owners download the Numida app, apply in minutes, and receive capital within a day. We have figured out how to score and disburse unsecured loans to cash-based businesses that have no digital transaction history, while maintaining excellent collection rates. Since 2021 we have provided $23M in working capital to 32,000 businesses in East Africa.
