Top Story: DRIVE100: How Housmata is Using Technology to Simplify Renting for Tenants and Landlords in Nigeria
In Nigeria, finding a home to rent can often feel like a battle. Between hidden charges, multiple agent fees, and fraudulent listings, the process has become a source of anxiety for millions of renters. This is the chaos that inspired Housmata, a Nigerian proptech startup to launch.
Founded by Qudus Adedolapo Oyedeji and Akintoyese Awoyode, the startup wants to bring transparency and trust to the rental market. According to the founders, the company’s mission is to make renting as easy, secure, and efficient as shopping online.
In this edition of Techparley’s DRIVE100, where we explore impactful startups, we spotlight how Housmata is using technology to simplify renting homes in Nigeria.
“With Housmata, we’ve built a digital platform that makes renting simple and trustworthy. Tenants get verified listings, secure rent payments, and peace of mind with digital agreements. Landlords can onboard their properties, manage tenants, and track rent without stress,” Qudus told Techparley.

DRIVE100: Meet AgriCapitalist Academy, the Nigerian Startup Using AI to Make Agriculture Profitable for Africans
In a region where farming is often viewed as subsistence rather than enterprise, AgriCapitalist Academy, a Nigerian startup, is making agribusiness training simple, actionable, and accessible to Africans.
Founded by Victory Ovo Idiagolor, AgriCapitalist Academy is on a mission to help Africans unlock the wealth potential of agriculture, through AI-driven education, mentorship, and practical tools that turn knowledge into real profit.
In this edition of Techparley’s DRIVE100, where we spotlight Africa’s most promising startups, we explore how AgriCapitalist Academy is redefining how professionals, aspiring agripreneurs, and small-scale farmers across Africa learn, build, and create wealth from agriculture.
“AgriCapitalist Academy addresses a major gap in Africa’s agripreneurship ecosystem, as many professionals, aspiring agripreneurs, and small-scale farmers lack the practical knowledge, guidance, and resources needed to turn agriculture into a profitable venture,” Victory told Techparley.
