GetEquity
Overview
GetEquity is a licensed digital issuance and exchange platform based in Lagos, Nigeria, that enables individuals to invest in a variety of assets and ventures, including commercial papers, real estate projects, mutual funds, and more. The platform aims to democratize access to investments by allowing users to gain ownership in diverse asset classes with minimal market dependence and potential returns. Trusted by over 18,000 investors, GetEquity offers a seamless experience for funding wallets and investing in available deals, trading private investments on its secondary market, gifting investments to family and friends, and joining private investment groups for exclusive opportunities. The company was founded in 2021 by Jude Dike and William Okafor, with a mission to reduce friction between founders and the funding they need by providing access to a wide range of funding options. Initially, GetEquity focused on enabling retail investors to invest in startup equity, but in response to decreased venture capital inflows, it pivoted towards offering debt instruments such as commercial papers and debt notes. This strategic shift has led to profitability, with over N500 million processed since 2024 and a monthly growth of 10%. GetEquity's platform is accessible via web, Android, and iOS, and has been recognized for its user-friendly interface and diverse investment opportunities. The company has partnered with firms like ARM to provide access to corporate issuances, including Dangote Group notes, and has been featured in various media outlets for its innovative approach to investment democratization in Africa.
