Stripe’s former growth lead helps African diaspora invest in startups, real estate

techcrunch.com Tage Kene-Okafor 2025-09-10 15:30:00

When Joe Kinvi joined Touchtech Payments in 2017 as head of finance, the Irish startup couldn’t afford his full salary. So he negotiated for stock to make up the difference.

That startup, Borderless, is now helping Africans in the diaspora collectively invest in startups and real estate back home. Since lau
