## About

Based in Dakar, Senegal, Kweli SAS, trading under the name Kwely, provides an e-commerce platform for business-to-business. The company was founded by its CEO Birame N. Sock. In December 2022, the firm raised USD 50,000 in grant funding from new investor MEST. In February 2024, Kwely raised venture funding led by investor Fuze Digital Africa.

The company offers an African B2B wholesale platform. They give customers access to goods created in Africa that are compliant with international standards. In order to meet the demands of volume buyers, the company produces wholesale orders jointly with several suppliers and uses production-to-delivery quality assurance procedures.

Kwely plans to use its February 2024 funding to support its global expansion.
