Zindi

In 2018, Celina Lee co-founded Zindi with a vision to harness the power of data science across Africa. As the CEO, Celina aimed to create a platform that connects organizations in need of machine-learning solutions with talented African data scientists. Zindi quickly became a hub for innovation, offering a marketplace for AI solutions and fostering a community of data enthusiasts.

Zindi's journey was marked by significant milestones, including a notable seed funding round in 2022, where the company raised $1 million. This funding was pivotal in expanding Zindi's network and enhancing its platform capabilities, allowing it to reach a broader audience and tackle more complex challenges.

The platform's growth was fueled by its unique approach to solving real-world problems through data science competitions. These competitions not only provided solutions to pressing issues but also offered African data scientists opportunities to showcase their skills on a global stage.

Today, Zindi stands as a testament to the potential of African innovation in the tech industry. By bridging the gap between data science talent and industry needs, Zindi continues to drive progress and empower a new generation of data scientists across the continent.
