## About

Based in France and founded in 2016, Mansaart S.A.S., doing business as Afrikrea a.k.a ANKA operates as a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solution, that enables e-commerce service to a network of African retailers and other vendors, assisting them to export and sell their products globally. The company was co-founded by Moulaye Tabouré (CEO), Kadry Diallo, and Luc B. Perussault-Diallo, and in January 2022, the firm raised USD 6.2 million in venture funding led by new investor I&P with participation from other new investors.

The company's e-commerce platform offers a wide range of African-inspired fashion items such as clothing, jewelry, bags, accessories, beauty and wellness products, fabrics, and art supplies in a single location, allowing buyers from all over the world to shop in a safe and secure environment, while also providing micro-retailers and vendors with global exposure to help them grow their businesses.

The firm intends to use the January 2022 funding to expand its (ANKA's) e-commerce SaaS mobile infrastructure and invest in new product development. The funds will also be used to hire additional remote developers and increase talent acquisition across the company's product, sales, and finance teams.
