Background & Story
Temitope combines financial expertise from his career as a Credit Controller with self-taught software development skills to build solutions for African creators. With deep understanding of payment systems, revenue management, and financial operations, he recognized the systemic barriers preventing creators from monetizing their talent on global platforms.

His unique combination of financial acumen and technical skills enables him to understand both the business model and implementation challenges of building a creator platform.

Why This Is Normal (And Good)
✓ Most successful startups start solo: Instagram (2 founders), WhatsApp (2 founders), Telegram (2 founders) all started with tiny teams
✓ Bootstrap validation: Building MVP and reaching beta with paying users before hiring proves product-market fit
✓ African tech reality: Emerging markets require leaner operations and creative problem-solving
✓ Strategic hiring: We're growing sustainably based on user metrics, not arbitrary timelines
Currently in private beta with select South African creators. Public launch planned for Q1 2026 after completing current testing phase.

Our Commitment to Transparency
We believe in radical honesty: Teka SA is currently a single-founder startup in private beta stage. This is not only normal for early-stage tech companies — it's actually optimal. Many of the world's most successful platforms started with solo founders or tiny teams: WhatsApp (2 people for 55 employees at $19B acquisition), Instagram (13 employees at $1B acquisition), and Telegram (started with 2 founders).
Our approach is strategic: Rather than hiring prematurely, we're validating product-market fit with real users, revenue, and engagement metrics. We've built a working product that creators are actively using and earning from. Our hiring roadmap is tied to specific growth milestones, not arbitrary timelines.
For investors and partners: We're a founder-led startup with a clear vision, proven execution ability (built entire platform solo), and transparent growth plans. Our lean structure means your investment goes directly into product development and user acquisition, not inflated overhead costs.
