In this episode of Foro Podcast, we sit down with Sara Leedom, co-founder of Inkomoko, to explore how the company scaled across East Africa and earned a spot at #8 on the Financial Times’ 2025 list of Fastest-Growing African Companies.
Sara shares the compelling behind-the-scenes story of Inkomoko’s remarkable rise—from initially supporting refugee entrepreneurs in Rwanda to ultimately building a powerful regional force that drives inclusive economic growth across multiple communities.
We discuss:
Inkomoko’s mission-driven approach to entrepreneurship
The challenges of scaling in complex markets
How they built a sustainable, pan-African model of impact
