About Akua
Akua wants to capture the Blue-Collar Workforce that transacts $187 Billion anually. Our 3 year goal is to capture 15% of the market share and create an api based marketplace for lending/spending/saving.
What drives Akua?
Blue Collar
The team has previously worked in Fintech, the most devastating impact of a economic-meltdown goes on to the people who have all their money saved in peer lending, borrowing and savings.
Decentralized
Community driven decisions that decides the fees, regulations, market approvals and listing member approvals..
Transparent
All Market decisions, audit report, contracts, new merger will be put forward to community pages before approvals.
Community Driven
We are trying to build a community of Blue-Collar workforce that accepts it and brings forward their core issue to the platform and we build solutions for that. The platform is build specifically for the Blue-Collar and they will be the decision makers for the platform.
Our mission
We are here to build an ecosystem for the Blue-Collar workforce, one of the most effected workforce that got hit badly in the pandemic. According to UNHR, one of the most in-demand jobs will be the Blue-Collar workforce which will exceed $200 Billion anually. Our mobile apps will have their own DAPP and in-app tap to transfer feature. We will charge a negligible fees and will make sure the entire progress and contracts are audited, made public and community driven.
Our story
We are a team of 10 engineers who have 10+ years of experience and have previously worked on a unicorn. Working in fintech, we saw a lot of people wanting to take part in the digital space but were never given a chance because of their job title, un-stable income stream. We wanted to build Akua to make sure they have a platform to lend/save/borrow money from peers without having to worry about credit scores.
