EmtooFi was born in Lagos with a conviction that African startups deserve world-class technical partners — not second-rate outsourcing.
EmtooFi Technologies was founded by engineers who were frustrated watching great product ideas fail because of poor technical execution. We set out to be the team we always wished our clients had access to.
Today, we partner with ambitious founders and enterprise teams across Africa and beyond — helping them ship products that are well-designed, well-built, and actually used.
We're based in Lagos but work globally. Remote-first, senior-led, and obsessed with quality.
Meet the team →We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. If an idea won't work, we say so — and we come with alternatives.
We care deeply about the quality of what we build — the code, the design, the UX, the performance. Average work has never been acceptable here.
We don't measure success in tickets closed or features shipped. We measure it in whether what we built actually moved the needle for you.
We move fast — but we don't cut corners. Pace and quality aren't opposites when you have the right process and the right people.
The best work happens when we're truly invested in your mission. We choose clients as carefully as clients choose us.
We build for the real constraints of African markets — connectivity, device diversity, local payment systems — not just copy-paste Silicon Valley.
Founded by Mercelina, Martins, and Ifeanyi, initially as a freelance outfit taking on web projects for Lagos SMEs. Early days, late nights, a lot of learning.
Landed our first enterprise SaaS contract — a fleet management platform that put us on the map. Grew the team to 5 full-time engineers.
Added a dedicated Flutter team and shipped our first screen time app(doomscroll). Reached 10 completed projects with zero missed deadlines.
Formally incorporated as EmtooFi Technologies Ltd. Expanded to serve clients in the UK and North America while staying Lagos-rooted.
12+ projects delivered. Expanding into AI-integrated products and open-source tooling for the African developer ecosystem.
