He Built a Cross-Border Payment Platform For Businesses Before 30: Ebenezer Ghanney's WeWire Story
From selling Trident gum and spray starch in high school to building a cross-border payment platform operating in 6 countries
Today’s Episode is with Ebenezer Ghanney, the under-30 Founder & CEO of WeWire, a B2B payments platform on a mission to simplify cross-border transactions for businesses — and currently raising a $100M fund.
Ebenezer’s entrepreneurial journey started in university with a marketplace business that failed, followed by another venture tackling social commerce fraud — which also didn’t work out. But through grit, vision, and relentless learning, he built a platform that’s transforming how businesses move money internationally.
In this episode of The Peswa Podcast, we talk about:
•Early hustle stories from Winneba
•Lessons from two failed startups (Hostelmate & Powersale)
•Breaking into the fintech industry
•Scaling across multiple African markets
•The mindset behind raising big capital
