Who we are
The super-app powering commerce across Sierra Leone
Market360 unifies buying, selling, payments, and delivery for millions of Sierra Leoneans. What Shopify, Stripe, and DoorDash do separately in the West, we do together, natively for West Africa.
Mission
Empower every African entrepreneur with the tools to sell online, get paid, and grow.
Vision
Become the default commerce and payments layer for 100M consumers across West Africa by 2030.
Values
Trust, transparency, and long-term thinking. We treat every seller and buyer like a partner.
Market opportunity
A $28B underserved commerce market
West Africa has 400M+ consumers, mobile penetration above 90%, and e-commerce penetration under 8%. The gap is our opportunity.

Why invest
Six reasons investors back Market360
Underserved market
8M+ people in Sierra Leone with <8% e-commerce penetration — a decade of compounding tailwinds.
Efficient growth
3.4x YoY GMV growth with a CAC payback under 4 months. Unit economics improve quarterly.
Fintech flywheel
Integrated wallet turns every transaction into recurring float, take rate, and cross-sell.
Trust moat
Verified sellers, escrow, and dispute resolution create a defensible network effect.
Platform, not app
Commerce, payments, and logistics on one stack — a true category-defining super-app.
Award-winning team
Founders and operators from Sub-Saharan tech, ex-fintech, ex-marketplace leaders.
Business model
Marketplace + fintech, one integrated stack
Buyers and sellers transact through Market360 with our built-in wallet. Every transaction generates a marketplace commission, a payment fee, and — through logistics — a delivery fee. This vertical integration lets us capture significantly more revenue per user than any single-purpose competitor.
- Take rate expands as buyers use Wallet across the full transaction
- Zero-margin verticals subsidised by high-margin fintech
- Every seller is a distribution channel for new buyers
