The Techstars-backed fintech platform, Liquify has secured debt investment from the Emerald Africa Financing Facility (EAFF) to provide trade finance for African SME exporters. The investment will help grow its loan book to finance the working capital of agriculture-focused exporters.

Founded in 2022 by Nadya Yaremenko and Alberta Asafo-Asamoah, Liquify operates as a trade finance marketplace connecting small and medium-sized enterprises in emerging markets with global capital markets. The platform enables these exporters, who often trade with multinational buyers, to access direct working capital, optimize cash flow, strengthen stakeholder relationships, and expand into new markets.

EAFF, which provides up to $250,000 in debt to early-stage digital innovators in sub-Saharan Africa, supports ventures focused on expanding finance access for rural SMEs. Through its partnership with Liquify, EAFF is helping unlock international growth and operational resilience for African businesses, empowering them to thrive in the global market.
