Flutterwave is a fintech company that provides a payment infrastructure for global merchants and payment service providers. Flutterwave was founded in 2016 by Iyinoluwa Aboyeji and Olugbenga Agboola. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California with current operations in the United States, Canada, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, South Africa, and 29 other African countries. In 2021, Flutterwave raised a US$170 million Series C funding round. At the time, this was the largest amount ever secured by an African tech startup and gave it a valuation of over US$1 billion, making Flutterwave a unicorn. Investors in Flutterwave include Y-Combinator, Visa Ventures, Mastercard, Avenir Growth Capital, and Tiger Global Management. Flutterwave raised a US$250 million Series D funding round at over US$3 billion valuation in 2022 as well. In December 2021, Flutterwave launched Send App, an African-focused remittance service that facilitates instant money transfers, and appointed Wizkid as its global ambassador to further push the company's brand among the Africans in the diaspora. Send App is now available in 29 states in the U.S. and is expected to expand to all 50 states. In January 2022, Flutterwave partnered with AfroSport Network to broadcast the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations free-to-air from 9 January 2022 to 6 February 2022.
