From Stanford to Ghana’s Delivery Revolution: How Kwame Agyei Owusu Built Zippy Courier

What does it take to build a logistics company in Ghana that can scale across Africa?

In this episode, we sit down with Kwame Agyei Owusu, founder of Zippy Courier, to unpack his founder journey — from studying at Stanford and working in China to building one of Ghana’s most innovative delivery companies powered by electric bikes and solar charging.

Kwame shares:

Why he left a global engineering career to start in Ghana
The hard lessons from piloting Zippy (HR breakdowns, software rebuilds, market readiness)
How to raise early funding when institutional investors won’t back you
Breaking into big deals like Melcom
His continental vision for African logistics
