Been quiet for a bit. Here’s why.
We’ve been building. Head down, no noise.
@JumpaHQ is almost live. The web app is nearly ready, website got a new look, and we just came out as finalists at SEVC one of Nigeria’s toughest startup pitch competitions.
But honestly? That’s not even what’s been keeping me up.
It’s the conversations.
We’ve been talking to real people. Across different countries. People who move money every day with no good options. No reliable tools. No one building with them in mind.
That’s the gap we’re closing.
Crypto users. Non-crypto users. Africa first then everywhere else.
The problem is real. The people are real. And we’re not stopping.
More soon. 👀
A few people have been asking what we've been up to lately. The truth is, we've been heads down building, learning, and growing.
Over the past few weeks, we've had some exciting milestones. We made it into SEVC, one of Nigeria’s most competitive startup pitch competitions. Being selected as finalists was more than recognition it was validation that the problem we're solving matters and that the future we're building is worth believing in.
But we didn't stop there.
We've been speaking directly with users across different countries, listening to stories, challenges, and experiences from people who are often overlooked and underserved. Those conversations have been powerful, humbling, and deeply motivating. We can't wait to share some of these stories with you—videos will be rolling out soon.
Behind the scenes, our web app is coming together beautifully, and we're hopeful to have it live by next week.
We also gave our website a fresh new look, making it a better reflection of who we are and where we're headed.
Most importantly, we're learning every day. Every conversation, every challenge, and every small win is helping us build something that goes beyond a launch. We're building for real people, with real needs, and we're committed to serving them the right way.
The journey is just getting started, and we're grateful to have you following along with us. ❤️
More updates soon.
We made it to the top finalists out of 1,200 applications we’re now among the last 20 in the product incubator track.
It’s been a great journey and a strong validation of what we’re building to simplify cross-border payments.

Sending and receiving stablecoins and spending like a local shouldn’t be a hassle.
It doesn’t stop at sending and receiving money. Your money shouldn’t sit idle either, and that’s where Jumpa comes in.
Happy new week..
Bybit vendors have been sh!t this period!
Since I started using @JumpaBot_ every off-ramp has been smooth
I just off-ramped to local currency in less than 30sec
@JumpaBot_ got a mail.
Out of 1200+ applications Jumpa made the 129 incubator startups to advance to the next stage.
We believe we are solving an important payments problem. With Jumpa, traders won’t need to travel outside the country with cash, they can complete transactions easily through chat.
We’re excited to be moving to the next stage, and we’re hopeful to make it to the end
Everybody talks about crypto adoption in Africa.
But nobody talks about actually using it.
You buy it. You hold it. Then what?
Spending is hard. Cashing out is worse.
That’s the gap.
Jumpa fixes it.
Spend stablecoins. Cash out fast.
Buying and holding stablecoins is easy.
The real problem is using them in everyday life.
Can you actually spend them?
Can you withdraw easily?
Or do you still have to jump through hoops and rely on off-ramps?
In most markets, it’s still difficult.
@JumpaBot_ makes it easy in those markets.
@_yeminiz With Jumpa you only need to say “Send 50k to account number” the user gets it.
We started as Telegram bot to test our product right now we’re moving to web app which will be available this week.. Users only need to prompt on our chat and it sends.
