About
Sote (whose name means 'all of us' in Swahili) is a Nairobi-based logistics and supply chain fintech founded in 2019 by Felix Orwa and Meka Este-McDonald. The company is building the digital logistics and supply chain infrastructure for Africa, integrating freight forwarding, trade finance, insurance, and data analytics into a single platform that enables banks and financial institutions to lend to corporates and SMEs based on proprietary trade data. By embedding financial services directly into logistics workflows, Sote helps African businesses access capital and streamline cross-border supply chain operations across Kenya, Tanzania, and beyond. The company raised a $4 million seed extension round to expand its combined logistics and fintech offering.
