Joshua Barimon Firima raised $135,000 to solve a problem slowing down AI voice adoption: getting AI agents connected to real phone lines.
His startup, KrosAI, helps businesses deploy AI voice agents without spending months navigating telecom partnerships and compliance requirements.

Firima’s entrepreneurial journey started at 16 as a Jumia JForce agent. He later built DFYHero, which attracted 4,000+ users before being acquired, and MoosbuOS, which served 1,000+ businesses.
Now, with backing from INSEAD’s AI Venture Lab and selection for TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 200, he’s building KrosAI for a global market.
@KrosAIHQ has raised $135,000 and is expanding into new markets, with Rwanda next on its list. Firima’s ambition is to operate in at least 15 countries by year-end.
His bet? As AI voice agents become more common, the biggest challenge may not be the AI itself, but the infrastructure connecting it to people.

Adewale Yusuf helped build AltSchool Africa from its launch in 2021. Now, he’s moving on to his next build in the United States.
After helping thousands of Africans access tech education, Yusuf says he’s proud to see AltSchool alumni making their mark across the industry.

Yusuf says leaving AltSchool’s CEO role was a smooth transition. The company was built to operate without depending on him, making it possible to hand over leadership to Sultan.
For him, building has always been about creating something meaningful, then knowing when it’s time to move forward.
Now based in the US, Yusuf is taking his time to figure out what comes next, with the upcoming Beyond Africa conference also on his radar.
From building a tech school in Africa to exploring new opportunities in America, one thing remains clear: he’s not done building.

Welcome to In60, @ToyosiGodwin
A stomach issue led Ogooluwa Fagbemi to build Foodivio, a health-tech platform helping people make better food choices based on their health needs.
After struggling to figure out which meals suited his condition, he saw an opportunity to make personalised nutrition more accessible.

Beyond meal recommendations, Foodivio offers recipes, shopping lists, a “What’s in My Kitchen?” feature and an AI food assistant.
The startup runs on a freemium model, with premium plans starting at ₦2,900 monthly. Its app is available on Android and iOS.
Ogooluwa’s vision is to make Foodivio more than a meal planner. He wants it to become a health and wellness companion.
The startup is still in its early stages, but its mission tackles a relatable question: how do we make healthier eating work with our culture, needs and budgets?
