Nigerian prop-tech startup Seso Global raises $600k pre-seed funding

Seso Global, a Nigerian property tech startup, announced that it has raised $600,000 in pre-seed funding round led by Kepple Africa Ventures, Rising Tide Africa, and Moabi Group, as well as angel investors Albert Essien, Ibrahim Sanga, and Jamie Broderick.

Founded by Daniel Block (CEO) and Phillip Jarman (COO), Seso Global is an online marketplace that enables a seamless real estate experience, utilising blockchain to ensure Africa’s real estate transactions are secure and trustworthy.

The company offers a property listing platform where sellers can list commercial properties, houses for both sales and rent in Nigeria, South Africa, and Ghana, enabling buyers to browse properties and interact with further service providers such as banks and law firms to complete the transaction.

The company intends to use the funds to expand its operations in its three existing markets and heavily promote the adoption of its proprietary newPropOS CRM platform for property developers working across Africa. It will also start preparing for its seed round, which will finance expansion into further markets. 

“The Seso Global platform is addressing the key challenges in the African real estate markets. I am confident they will make a major impact in housing access, a key issue across the continent,” said Essien, former group CEO of Ecobank Group.
