Oxano Capital backs Kenyan fintech company
Sevi B.V. is a Nairobi-based, Dutch-headquartered B2B fintech company transforming access to working capital for micro and small retailers across Kenya. Through its innovative "Order Now, Pay Later" platform, Sevi embeds stock financing directly into existing supply chains, enabling retailers to order inventory on credit while suppliers receive immediate payment. This allows small shop owners to stock their shelves when demand arises and repay in flexible instalments as they generate sales, improving cash flow and unlocking sustainable business growth. By expanding access to affordable credit, Sevi is strengthening the resilience of informal retail businesses, increasing household incomes, and contributing to more vibrant local economies. We were attracted to Sevi because of its experienced founding team, scalable technology-driven business model, strong traction among both retailers and suppliers, and significant potential to advance financial inclusion and job creation. Through this investment, Oxano Capital aims to support Sevi's journey toward profitability, continued product innovation, and regional expansion, in line with our mission of investing in businesses that deliver both strong financial returns and lasting social impact.
