From Fashion to Fintech to Healthcare: How African Innovation Is Rewriting the Global Startup Story
Hi, I am Michael Fasere, an entrepreneur, cybersecurity architect, and founder of three purpose-driven startups built at the intersection of technology, impact, and scale.
For years, the world has underestimated Africa’s potential to drive global innovation. I am here to change that—with ventures born out of real-world needs, fueled by local genius, and engineered for international relevance.
Let me introduce you to Pashione, Medlitics, and 1App; three platforms solving three of Africa’s biggest challenges, with global scalability baked in.
Pashione Inc. — The Future of African Fashion Commerce
Pashione is a fashion-tech social commerce platform that connects African fashion designers with global buyers, influencers, and retail ecosystems.
We are not just selling clothes; we are exporting culture, identity, and economic empowerment.
✅ 2500+ vendors across 10 African countries
✅ Launched MVP in 2024
✅ Partnerships with top African organizations.
✅ Integrated marketplace + influencer discovery + vendor portal
Our mission? To bridge the gap between African and Western fashion through tech-enabled storytelling, trust, and digital visibility.
Now, we are launching the largest African fashion showcase ever, bringing 100+ designers to events in Lagos, Cape Town, Dakar, and Addis Ababa.
Medlitics — AI-Powered Chronic Disease Management
Medlitics is a health-tech platform using AI and wearable integration to predict, manage, and prevent complications from chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes, two of the most underdiagnosed and deadly conditions in Africa.
