My name is Anis Kallel, and I am the Co-Founder and CTO of **Flouci** (by Kaoun), a Fintech startup based in Tunisia working on eKYC, payments and credits in the region. I studied Computer Science and Business at the University of Rochester, New York.
In 2017, I worked as an associate at Seedstars World where I traveled across Sub-saharan Africa to identify the best and most investable early-stage startups. I worked with corporates, governments, and startups on growing the entrepreneurship ecosystems, sharing success stories and opportunities, and attracting further investment in the region.
Inspired by the potential of technology to reduce barriers to entry for the underbanked and underserved, I moved back to Tunisia to work on Flouci, a financial super-app that allows individuals and businesses to create a free bank account and a mobile wallet via smartphone, and access a range of financial and governmental services. I am also a Fellow at Harambeans, an alliance of determined entrepreneurs who are building Africa's future, and was nominated in 2019 as one of the top 100 leaders of tomorrow at the St Gallen Symposium in Switzerland, and as the winner of the young arab entrepreneur of the year by Takreem Foundation in 2023.

Recently I started writing about different topics related to building a Fintech company in emerging markets, journal style. There’s no particular structure to this, just raw thoughts and ideas, and sharing personal experiences. The link to the substack is available here: https://kafteji.news/
