Across the African business landscape, many organizations still struggle with legacy systems, scattered operations, and a lack of flexible infrastructure to support real innovation. But for Oluwaremi Lawal, this challenge has always been an opportunity to lead with clarity. Now, the company she co-founded, Nexpath, has raised $6.2 million in funding to expand its mission: helping enterprises across Africa reimagine how innovation is built, structured, and scaled.
The funding round drew participation from a coalition of venture capitalists, innovation-focused equity firms, and strategic investors who share a belief in the company’s purpose, delivering structured, context-aware enterprise solutions that support growth through clarity, not complexity.
With this new capital, the company will accelerate its regional expansion into East and Southern Africa, double down on its enterprise enablement programs, and invest in product infrastructure that enhances how businesses navigate digital change. Plans are also underway to launch more strategic partnerships, support transformation teams within client organizations, and scale its leadership development labs for senior innovation leads.
“For us, innovation has never been about chasing the next trend,” said Oluwaremi Lawal, co-founder of Nexpath. “It’s about designing for utility, building for scale, and empowering people to make better decisions in the face of change. This funding allows us to deepen that impact across new markets.”
The raise comes at a crucial time when businesses across Africa are demanding more than just digitization, they want transformation with purpose. As traditional operating models become increasingly unsustainable, the company offers a practical path forward: combining human insight, organizational learning, and execution frameworks that enable real business outcomes.
In the coming months, the company will roll out expanded services for large-scale clients, launch a regional innovation tour, and introduce new enterprise diagnostics that help leaders assess readiness and identify transformation gaps.
Where many enterprise tech players focus on speed alone, the company continues to prioritize intentional growth, anchored in results, education, and partnership. The $6.2 million funding round marks a pivotal moment not just for the company, but for a broader shift in how enterprise innovation is being redefined across the continent.
As investor confidence in Africa’s enterprise sector continues to grow, the company stands out not just for its tools, but for its thinking. Its rise signals that thoughtful, systems-driven innovation is a business imperative.
