Alfred Nkansah, founder of Plugnom

The founder

Started on campus,
still building for you.

Alfred Nkansah founded Plugnom in 2014 while studying at Ghana Communications and Technology University, then Ghana Technology University College — helping local businesses get online at a time when that was harder than it should be.

A decade on, the mission hasn't moved: infrastructure African businesses can actually buy, run by people they can actually reach.

Recognition

Backed,
and battle-tested.
