BRDRS, a fintech app designed for African and Caribbean diasporal travelers, has raised $1.3M in a Pre-Seed funding round. The app, which is the first of its kind, offers several features, including cross-border connectivity, a multi-currency digital wallet, and BRDRS Connect, which lets you buy and activate a local eSIM. POCIT sat down with CEO and co-founder Joy Martins to discuss how the app will serve the Black diaspora, the importance of a travel app for Black travelers, and how it aims to challenge misconceptions about Africa and the Caribbean.
