Hey guys, I hope you are doing well. I wanted to personally share a milestone with you. Hive is now live and fully deployed, and Iโm genuinely excited about what this represents. What started as a vision around strengthening MSME infrastructure and improving access to credit is now a working platform. You can explore it here: [https://hive-offline-prosper.vercel.app] Hive is built to help MSMEs build credible data trails, improve trust, and unlock structured growth opportunities. We are thinking beyond just software. We are building infrastructure that can influence how small businesses access capital and scale sustainably. I would truly value your thoughts after youโve had a look. If it resonates, I would welcome a short conversation to share where we are headed and how we are thinking about growth and scale. Thank you for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Babatunde Ogundeko
Hello RevGenius family, I am excited to share something we have been quietly building and are now ready to bring to the open. By March 2026, we will be launching Hive. Nigeria is home to over 40 million Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises. They contribute almost 50 percent of GDP and account for over 80 percent of employment. Yet, the majority of these businesses remain structurally fragile, operating without systems, reliable data, or coordinated support. Hive was born out of this reality. We are building Hive Manager, a digital operating layer that helps MSMEs organize their daily operations, capture business data effortlessly, and turn that data into insights that guide better decisions. Sales, expenses, people, inventory, performance, and growth signals become visible, usable, and actionable. Alongside the product, we are building the Hive Community. A practitioner led ecosystem where founders and operators access peer learning, coaching, shared context, and practical guidance grounded in the realities of running businesses in emerging markets. Together, the Hive Manager and the Hive Community aim to move MSMEs from survival to stability, from activity to clarity, and from guesswork to insight driven growth. This is not about adding another tool to the market. It is about operational digitalization at scale and building economic resilience from the ground up. Grateful to the RevGenius communities for the encouragement, conversations, and belief that have helped shape this journey. We are looking forward to sharing more as we approach launch. Onward.

Hi Community, I want to share a brief update and introduce a focused initiative I am formally launching. Following a recent company-wide profitability reset after consecutive loss-making months, my organization undertook a strategic review of cost structures and operating priorities. As part of that process, my role was impacted. Rather than viewing this transition as a disruption, I am leveraging it as a catalyst to execute on a thesis I have been developing for some time: the launch of The Hive Community. What is The Hive Community? The Hive is a business support and venture-enablement platform designed to help small and growing businesses scale sustainably. We integrate capital with deep advisory support, ensuring founders do not just access funding, but also the strategic structure required to deploy it effectively. Our Strategic Focus
Integrated Capital & Advisory
We embed funding with hands-on operational, financial, and governance support to address the structural weaknesses that commonly limit SME growth.
Making SMEs Bankable
Our model is built around professionalizing informal and semi-formal businesses through disciplined risk assessment, financial modeling, and growth planning, enabling long-term access to institutional capital.
Sustainable Scale, Not Short-Term Survival
By prioritizing working capital optimization and expansion readiness, we help businesses move beyond survival mode into scalable, resilient operations. This initiative builds directly on my experience across partnerships, credit sales and decisioning, and growth strategy, particularly within emerging markets and high-velocity operating environments. I would welcome conversations with members of the RevGenius community around venture building, strategic partnerships, and scaling sustainable impact. Warm regards, Babatunde Ogundeko
Dear RevGenius Community, My name is Babatunde Ogundeko, and as a member of RevGenius, I am excited to connect with this vibrant community of growth and revenue leaders. I am reaching out to introduce myself and explore synergistic partnership opportunities. My professional journey spans over a decade, focusing on driving significant growth and forging strategic partnerships within the financial services and technology sectors across Africa. Currently, I hold two key roles: I am the Senior Growth Manager at Terminal Africa, where I am responsible for leading growth and acquisition strategies, as well as key account management.

I am particularly interested in innovative approaches to market expansion, customer acquisition, and strategic alliances that can unlock new revenue streams and drive sustainable success.
