We've closed a growth round to fund the next phase of Atunwa's infrastructure buildout, expanding what today is an 11-market network with a heavier physical and technical footprint in East and Southern Africa.
Where the money goes
The bulk of this round goes into three things: physical data center capacity in Ghana and Kenya to cut latency for publishers currently routing through infrastructure outside the continent, engineering headcount to keep building out the products publishers and advertisers have been asking for, and market entry in Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Côte d'Ivoire.
What doesn't change
The model stays the same. We're not pivoting toward a marketplace-only approach or stepping back from the ad ops layer that's driven fill-rate gains for existing publishers. If anything, this round lets us bring the same operating layer to more publishers, faster, in markets that have been historically underserved by ad-tech built somewhere else.
Hiring
We're hiring across engineering, ad operations, and business development, concentrated in Lagos, Accra, and Nairobi to start, with roles opening in the new markets as onboarding begins. If the work described in the rest of this section sounds like the kind of problem you want to spend your time on, our team page has the current openings.
