Born in the Central African Republic, I moved to France at 18 to study computer science and business engineering. During my studies, I decided to enter the gaming industry to create the first African infrastructures for creative monetization and create my first game Kissoro. A global success with articles published even in China.
After graduating, I worked at Capgemini on international space programs for ESA and NASA while launching my first company in 2018.
In 2019, I started building Gara: the first African edutainment platform distributing and monetizing games, comics, and books across the continent. Gara became a company in 2022 and has since grown into a creative ecosystem shaping the future of gaming and digital entertainment in Africa.
I created the first African mythology video game in The Sandbox metaverse, and I had the honor of being ranked twice by Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 (2018 & 2022 — #1 position).
In 2023, we launched the first video game incubator in West Africa, based in Senegal and financed by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with an expansion to Benin in 2025.
In 2024, Gara became the only Francophone startup finalist in the NBA Africa Triple Double Accelerator, among 700+ companies across the continent.
In 2025, Gara gained massive public traction after appearing on TV5’s “Shark”, receiving pan-African media coverage, 2,000+ messages in 72 hours, and spontaneous online crowdfunding initiatives.
Also in 2025, the European Union granted €500,000 to Oloroun, our PC game distribution platform — a future African equivalent of Steam/Epic Game Store — to build a continental distribution infrastructure for global PC video games.
We signed major strategic partnerships with Orange and with Benin’s state telecom operator Celtiis, enabling deeper market penetration and distribution channels.
To reinforce regional financial capacity, we launched Paykko, a fintech application designed to facilitate African savings and investment participation inside our ecosystem.
We also signed a strategic agreement with Média Participations, Europe’s leading publisher/distributor (Tintin, Spirou, Smurfs, etc.) to distribute 300,000+ digital books across Africa through our platforms.
In 2025, we are releasing Mini Coupe, a new gaming IP further expanding our entertainment pipeline, and start the project Jabari a fighting game with many superstars.
Across all of this, we are building Africa’s first full creative value chain — content production, monetization infrastructure, distribution, financing, and education — becoming a continental backbone for gaming, comics, and digital entertainment.
Today, our ecosystem is trusted by governments, global institutions, media giants, and thousands of African users. And we’re only getting started.
