Henry Mascot

Yo, have you heard about Henry Mascot? The guy’s a straight-up mover in Africa’s tech scene. He rolled in with the YC W22 batch, yeah, that’s the same one as some of the sickest startups right now. Dude’s got roots in fintech and insurtech, especially with Curacel, which I’ve seen pop up a lot. That’s like Google for Startups level legit, helping shape the future of healthcare and insurance in Africa. No cap, he’s making some serious waves.

What’s wild is his story isn’t just about building a company. It’s about jumping into the deep end and really trying to solve real problems, like, how do you make healthcare accessible and affordable in Africa? He’s not just talking; he’s out here crushing it, speaking at big events like the Africa Tech Summit in London and Nairobi, spreading that fire about what’s possible. You can tell he’s super passionate about tech’s power to transform lives, especially in places that are often overlooked.

Before all the startup hustle, he was deep in the game with places like The Tony Elumelu Foundation, which is all about empowering African entrepreneurs. That says a lot, he’s not just in it for himself; he’s genuinely about lifting others up and building an system. His time with Curacel and his other gigs show he’s been in the trenches, really knowing what it takes to create something meaningful from nothing.

The way he’s jumped into the scene and kept pushing shows he’s got serious motivation, not just chasing fame, but genuinely trying to change the game. He’s a proof to what happens when you combine hustle, purpose, and a bit of that African tech magic. Honestly, Henry’s the real deal, a young founder who’s not just riding the wave but shaping it. Keep an eye on him, no bullshit.
