Paysonet, a community banking service, is the third of the three newly launched companies under FirstFounders’ portfolio. Paysonet aims to simplify payments for customers and businesses and advance financial inclusion in underserved communities based on cultural values of inclusion, innovation, and collaboration. Their services include agency banking, payments & collections, and bill payments with a cashback value on any subscription transaction. Paysonet is led by Joseph Ukagwu. According to the CEO of FirstFounders, David Lanre Messan, “Our goal is simple, to work with founders to create companies that will transform economies and we are doing this one startup at a time. Hopefully, we will be able to take a good number of them to Series A.” This is why each product launched under FirstFounders started with us as an idea. We work with the founders and teams in an end-to-end process that helps us hold their hands through building these products from ideation to design, to MVP development, and now launching. Our goal is to ensure that we continue this process to funding and eventually, exit.
