Founders52 Ep20 | Ismael Belkhayat, Founder & CEO of CHARI

This week, on Founders52 Series, we're taking you on a journey to the vibrant city of Casablanca, Morocco, as we host an inspiring entrepreneur with a remarkable story.

Introducing Ismael Belkhayat, Founder & CEO, Chari | YC S21 | Ecom and Fintech apps for retailers in Francophone Africa.

Chari is not your average startup. It's the powerhouse behind B2B e-commerce and fintech innovation for traditional retailers in French-speaking African countries.

Imagine this: they help retailers order consumer goods and have them delivered in under 24 hours, with no delivery fees! But there's more to the story:

  • Chari is also a financial services provider, offering micro-loans to these retailers. Founded in 2020, it skyrocketed to success, raising over $6 million in funding.
  • They've connected with over 20,000 businesses in Morocco and expanded into Tunisia & Ivory Coast.
  • Chari was among the elite 1% of African startups to join Y-Combinator in 2021.


Join us for what promises to be an intriguing session with Ismael as he shares his remarkable journey – from his time with Boston Consulting Group to leading a B2B startup that now employs over 100 talented individuals.


Why should you attend?
