We missed a few projects in our earlier post.
In total, 10 projects from West Africa were funded in SCF #43, collectively receiving over $1,000,000 in funding to continue building and scaling their solutions.
Congratulations once again to the incredible teams: @seevcash, @FundableHQ, @spendfigo, @fewticket, @fiatsend, @Bloccpay, @JetPad_Finance, @Proof_bridge, @OurBlockroll, and @uselinq.
If you're a founder or builder looking to build within our ecosystem, reach out and become part of our founders and builders community. You'll get access to support, resources, connections, and opportunities to help you grow and scale your product.
The future is being built by founders like these, and we're excited to see what's next. ๐

We're super excited to see 9 projects from West Africa receive over $855,000 in funding in the latest Stellar Community Fund round (SCF #43)! ๐
It's inspiring to see more founders & builders from the region getting the support they need to scale their ideas and create real impact. Seeing these projects receive backing is also a reminder that the ecosystem continues to grow and that the collective effort to support builders across West Africa is paying off.
To every founder out there: keep building. We'll keep supporting you. And if you're looking for a blockchain ecosystem to build on, come @BuildOnStellar/@StellarOrg.
Huge congratulations to the incredible teams building solutions for Africa and beyond: @seevcash, @FundableHQ, @spendfigo, @fewticket, @fiatsend, @Bloccpay, @JetPad_Finance, @OurBlockroll, and @uselinq.
Take some time to explore what they're building, support their work, and get onboarded.

Bloccpay has been selected for @StellarOrg Community Fund (SCF #43). One of 9 projects across West Africa funded in this round.
Too many contractors across these markets are waiting days for payments that lose value along the way, and that's exactly the problem Bloccpay is built to solve.
Thank you @Stellar_WA and @BuildOnStellar for backing builders in this region.
Congratulations to every team selected. The work continues.

Big news, and I'm on ๐งต for the second time in as many weeks,

One year ago, we did a thing. ๐
We're still seeing the impact today โ from the connections that were formed to the products and initiatives that emerged from the ecosystem after that event. It's been incredible to watch the ripple effects continue long after the day itself.
As we step into a new month โ and the final month of H1 โ we've been quietly building, experimenting, and working on several exciting things behind the scenes. We can't wait to share them with you soon.
Until then, keep building. ๐

Weโre pleased to announce @survvo_hq as the winner of the Stellar West Africa Build Weekend Residency Program. ๐
SURVVO is helping companies and individuals find real African users beyond their personal networks, make data-driven decisions with real data, while reducing biased feedback and increasing the chances of building products people actually want.
By leveraging Stellarโs infrastructure, they enable seamless instant payouts while integrating privacy through zero-knowledge (ZK), all without users requiring any Web3 knowledge.
Why they stood out: clear real-world problem, strong execution, and a practical use of @StellarOrg to drive real user engagement.
