Emmanuel Gbolade, 
Awe Ayomide and 
Idowu Atinuke launch Termii with a clean, developer-friendly SMS API, and win $2,000 at the Next-Economy Acceleration programme.
Termii becomes the OTP delivery layer for a fast-growing set of payment apps and digital banks, and raises $45,000 in pre-seed from Microtraction and Future Hub.
Termii joins Y Combinator, launching intelligent multi-channel delivery and automatic failover as coverage expands across sub-Saharan Africa.
A $5M seed led by Fintech Collective and Ventures Platform, with Launch Africa, Aidi Ventures, Future Africa, Kepple Africa and Now Ventures.
Termii builds Ayla, an AI model trained on billions of signals that scores every OTP, fraud check and alert for delivery before it fires. The platform passes 1B+ transactions.
Behind every product is a team that enjoys building it
From company retreats and team bonding activities to town halls, learning opportunities, and celebrations, life at Termii is built around collaboration, growth, and shared success.
