NeuraBridge, a new fintech startup, is positioning itself as a platform where everyday retail investors can access verified financial experts across global markets, from stocks and bonds to commodities, crypto-assets, and more.
As Africa experiences a flourishing appetite for personal finance and wealth-building, the startup argues that what the continent truly lacks is structured, centralised and credible investment guidance.
In this edition of Techparley’s DRIVE100, our spotlight falls on NeuraBridge, the fast-rising investment-education platform, founded by O. Ifeanyi Godsfavour, which is democratising access to trusted financial expertise for retail investors across Africa.
“We are solving the problem of lack of adequate centralized access to financial expert guidance and learning for everyday individuals/ retail investors who seek to invest their savings into smart securities,” Godsfavour told Techparley.
A Platform Built for Everyday Savers
NeuraBridge’s proposition is simple. It is a platform where retail investors can discover verified experts, access their insights, and subscribe to personalised guidance or courses.
“We built a simple platform where everyday savers/ retail investors can discover, connect and obtain guidance from verified financial experts across global markets such as stocks, bonds, commodities, crypto and much more,” Godsfavour said.
The platform functions like a “LinkedIn for finance”, Godsfavour says it is where every expert’s track record, strengths, offerings, and performance are stored and publicly displayed for users to evaluate.
Retail investors can browse experts across global markets, connect to those whose strategies align with their goals, and access educational tools designed to replace hearsay with actual knowledge.
For experts, NeuraBridge offers an organised system to serve, track, and manage their audience, backed by analytics and transparency features that help them build credibility in an increasingly crowded digital finance space.
What You Should Know
Although Africa’s fintech space is packed with payment, credit, and savings innovation, the continent still lacks a centralised marketplace for verified financial expertise.
NeuraBridge considers this its strongest differentiator and claims a first-mover advantage in the niche of expert–investor matchmaking. Its closest competitors, according to Godsfavour, are not direct rivals but adjacent platforms: in-app brokerage communities such as Trove, online marketplaces like Selar, and alternative learning sources such as YouTube.
However, none currently provide a structured ecosystem that combines expert discovery, performance tracking, guidance subscription, and tailored investor education in one place.
Despite being early-stage, NeuraBridge’s traction is noteworthy:
- 150+ retail investors trained
- 3 organisations engaged, including university campus outreaches
- Guidance offered across an estimated $7,500 worth of portfolios
- Partnerships with certified brokers and licensed operators
- A growth rate of over 200% CMGR
- Nearly 200 confirmed prospective users ahead of platform launch
The startup has also onboarded users outside Nigeria, particularly in Kenya and South Africa, signalling cross-border appetite for regulated financial guidance.
The Team Behind the Mission
NeuraBridge’s founding team brings together experience in full-stack development, product leadership, and cross-industry operations.
- Nzoputachi Samuel E — Chief Technology Officer: A full-stack developer with a history of building solutions across telemedicine, transport technology, and fintech.
- Chima Bryce Ch — Chief Operating Officer: Over seven years of leading teams and managing operations across multiple product categories.
Before NeuraBridge, the team collaborated on several products, refining the technical and operational synergy now powering the startup.
The Road Ahead
NeuraBridge’s immediate goal is to accelerate user acquisition, onboarding more experts, and reaching 1,000 to 3,000 users within the next 12 months.
Over the next two to five years, the team aims to deepen market penetration, strengthen regulatory partnerships, and become the go-to platform for financial guidance across Africa.
B2b fintech revenues are projected to grow at a 32% CAGR to become a $285 billion market by 2030. Experts say this projection creates a compelling backdrop for NeuraBridge’s mission to connect everyday savers with expert investment guidance.
If the team’s early traction, clarity of purpose, and commitment to impact are anything to go by, industry leaders say NeuraBridge may well become one of the continent’s most influential platforms for everyday investors navigating the global financial markets.
Talking Points
It is impressive that NeuraBridge is tackling one of the most widespread yet under-addressed problems in Africa’s investment space; the lack of centralised, credible and accessible financial expertise for everyday people who want to invest responsibly.
This single approach positions NeuraBridge as a practical solution for retail investors who are overwhelmed by misinformation, unverified “experts”, and the growing threat of scams and Ponzi schemes.
By providing a platform where users can discover verified professionals, access insights, and receive guided support, NeuraBridge brings structure and trust back into personal finance.
At Techparley, we recognise how solutions like this can reshape financial literacy and investor confidence across the continent. When people have access to knowledgeable, vetted experts, wealth-building stops being a gamble and becomes a deliberate, informed journey.
With the right support, the platform has the potential to become a continental gateway for transparent financial education, empowering a new generation of Africans to invest smarter, safer, and with far greater confidence.
