Active Founders
Peter Wachira
Peter is an entrepreneur with a passion for empowering communities and reshaping the travel industry. Started my first company at 18, focusing on providing essential goods and services to low-income households through a BNPL model, exited. I pivoted to the travel sector, founding a leading vacation rental management company. Recognizing the challenges faced by travel businesses, I am now building Tripitaca, the operating system for travel businesses in Africa.
Collins Muthinja
With over a decade of coding expertise, I'm a seasoned software engineer who cut my teeth at a leading insuretech firm, where I played a key role in building payment rails. Co-founder of a successful BNPL startup later acquired, I now drive innovation as I build the operating system for travel businesses in Africa, seamlessly embedding finance solutions.
Company Launches
tl;dr: 90% of travel businesses in Africa are SMBs. However, they are unable to collect payments, continue to operate manually, lack access to financial services, and booking systems are 60% less efficient due to weak payment infrastructures.
Triply assists these businesses in collecting payments, automating their operations, and then uses this data to provide them with financial services. We also assist them in increasing their revenue by selling their services on our marketplace, which is designed to match the needs of the local travel market.
