Coscharis Group CEO, Cosmas Maduka, has openly expressed regret over not investing in Flutterwave, the Nigerian fintech company that has grown into a global payments platform. Speaking during a recent interview, Maduka admitted that he had the chance to back the startup early but chose not to, a decision he now views as a missed opportunity.

According to Maduka, Flutterwave’s impressive growth and market dominance in fintech made him realize the potential he overlooked. He highlighted how the company has revolutionized digital payments in Africa and expanded its reach internationally, creating enormous value for its investors.

Despite the regret, Maduka praised the founders of Flutterwave for their vision and tenacity. He described the company’s journey as inspiring for other Nigerian entrepreneurs, noting that the fintech sector is full of opportunities for early investors willing to take calculated risks.

Maduka encouraged business leaders to pay closer attention to emerging startups and innovative solutions in technology. He stressed that timely investments in high-potential companies can yield significant rewards, turning early support into long-term success stories.
