OPay: The Next Big African Fintech Exit?

OPay may be getting ready for its next big chapter: a potential U.S. listing that could put one of Nigeria’s largest fintechs firmly on the global capital markets map— at a potential $4 billion valuation.

Ahead of Midlo Angels potentially listing the OPay private placement opportunity for our members, we thought it was important to look beyond the headline and ask the harder question:

Is OPay really okay?
A friend of house, Tunde Akin-Moses of Sycamore Capital has taken a deep dive into OPay’s numbers, business model, profitability, proposed IPO and what investors should be thinking about before putting capital to work.

It’s a very timely read—and exactly the kind of homework we expect our members to do before investing.

Read Tunde’s analysis before we bring the opportunity to Midlo members via https://lnkd.in/efnqtRMH

As always: access to a deal is not the same thing as a reason to invest. Do the work. Ask the questions. Then make the decision.

Wednesday, August 19 2026.

The barbell held again this week, but the story underneath it shifted. America's AI infrastructure boom kept minting billion-dollar checks, China's AI labs went into full IPO-sprint mode with back-to-back mega-raises, India's rebound cooled fast, and Africa produced the week's most encouraging signal yet: a defense-tech round out of Lagos.

One lesson we’ve learned from evaluating hundreds of startups is this:

A great product isn’t enough.

Many founders can passionately explain what they’re building. Fewer can clearly explain the metrics that determine whether their business can scale sustainably.

Understanding concepts like Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), Lifetime Value (LTV), Burn Multiple, Net Revenue Retention (NRR), and the Rule of 40 isn’t just for investors or finance professionals. These are the numbers that shape better decisions, stronger fundraising conversations, and healthier companies.

Welcome to H2 of 2026.

The first half of the year laid the foundation.

Now it's time to build.

At Midlo Angels, we believe the biggest opportunities aren't found by waiting-they're found by showing up early, thinking long-term, and investing in the future.

As we step into the second half of 2026, we're excited for what's ahead: bold founders, transformative innovations, meaningful partnerships, and new opportunities to create lasting impact.

The future doesn't wait.

Neither should you. Invest. Build. Grow.

Here's to making H2 our strongest chapter yet.

Join us tomorrow at 12 pm CST/6 pm WAT, for a powerful session with Shawn Mininger. Shawn is a leader whose experience sits at the intersection of technology, military, strategy, and high-stakes decision-making.

This will not be a surface-level conversation. We’ll be reading the rules beneath the rules.

After Davos, the calendar doesn’t empty.
It shifts.

February isn’t just about football. The Super Bowl is one of America’s most under-discussed deal rooms.

While the world watches the game, capital allocators, founders, CEOs, and policymakers are in private suites shaping the next wave of partnerships, exits, and policy conversations.

The spectacle is public.
The strategy is private.

Influence moves in seasons.
If you understand the calendar, you understand the flow of capital.
