Meet the Founder
Evita Grant, Esq., PhD
Evita is the driving force behind AFi. Hailing from Ghana and navigating the challenges of emigrating solo to the U.S. in her late teens, Evita is a resilient problem-solver with an illustrious academic background in engineering at MIT and Harvard, and law at Harvard. Passionate about giving back to Africa, particularly Ghana, and fueled by a determination to assist small businesses in global trade, Evita created AFi after encountering hurdles in sending a $1000 payment from the U.S. to Ghana. Now, Evita leads our team in revolutionizing small business payments, empowering small enterprises to thrive on the global stage.
