Daniel Yu is not one to hide his ambitions or his convictions. This thirty-something American founded Wasoko (formerly Sokowatch) in 2013 with the certainty he had the ideal model of online commerce made in Africa. Exhibiting his confidence to anyone who will pay attention to him, with his company he has swept away the Western concept of online commerce, which targets the final consumer directly (business to consumer or B2C) preferring instead to sell his products to professionals (B2B), thus connecting daily and directly with small traders and neighbourhood grocers.
