gamp’s all-in-one platform lets businesses buy, protect, and manage devices seamlessly powering secure and scalable teams.
The Lagos HQ platform which already oversees thousands of laptops, tablets and smartphones for over 150 organisations with employees across 4 continents is fast shedding its cloak of anonymity.
By tackling the unglamorous yet mission critical job of provisioning, protecting and managing devices, gamp is laying the foundation for the future of work on the continent. In a market where misplaced assets drain millions and compliance lapses invite costly fines, its impact speaks louder than any billboard campaign.
Fresh Capital for Flexible Financing
The quiet momentum just received a public boost. gamp has secured a new mixed Naira debt round from FSDH, Meristem, BAS Finance Company and a group of existing angels.
The funding expands gamp’s ability to offer flexible device financing through long-term leases, lease-to-own plans, rentals, and Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) models. These options eliminate the rigidity of large upfront purchases, easing the capital expenditure burden for businesses. Finance teams can now replace unpredictable capex with predictable, manageable monthly operating expenses.
“Local options like buying from Computer Village vendors or relying on traditional procurement pushes the entire burden of device lifecycle management onto HR or IT, with no centralized system to track procurement, repairs, or insurance,” says Chief Executive Boluwatife Omotayo. “Imagine managing a 200-person team and juggling 10 different vendors for different needs. It’s chaotic and unnecessary.”
“While global tools like Rippling and Deel offer IT, payroll, and EOR services, they still fall short when it comes to hardware support in emerging markets,” he adds. “gamp is built to solve this, providing flexible device acquisition and financing, plus seamless onboarding, offboarding, and post-purchase support across multiple cities so devices never become an afterthought.”
From Retail Hack to Enterprise Backbone
The idea began as a consumer service that helped individuals acquire and insure personal gadgets. Users carried that convenience into their offices and IT managers soon asked for organisation wide coverage.
“Devices sit at the heart of every business process,” Omotayo explains. “Whether you run a bank, a school or a logistics fleet, nothing works if the laptop does not.”
Today one cloud dashboard lets finance, HR and IT teams see every device from Nairobi to New York, provision new machines in minutes and lock or wipe any asset that goes astray.

The Team Guiding the Mission

An entrepreneur who cut his teeth in Nigeria’s bustling electronics markets, Boluwatife understands distribution at street level and strategy in the boardroom.
His years of organising community meet-ups across Nigeria also give him a direct line to emerging talent and customer pain points.
- Toluwani Famokunwa – Chief Technology Officer
A former product engineer at cryptocurrency exchange Luno, Tolu brings deep experience in building secure, high-availability platforms. He now channels that expertise into gamp’s device lifecycle management engine, ensuring every laptop or phone under management remains visible, compliant and protected.

Together the trio fuse distribution savvy, software architecture and risk management into one coherent value proposition, giving gamp the authority to finance hardware while delivering seamless IT automation.
Funding with Focus
gamp announced a $650,000 equity raise in 2023 and has kept operations lean. The latest debt tranche extends payment terms and bankrolls further automation. A proprietary verification tool accelerates onboarding and new support systems protect service quality as device counts climb.
Path to Essential Infrastructure
gamp wants to be at the forefront of the future of work in the region. Strategic partnerships, selective acquisitions or a future sale remain options so long as they strengthen the company goals and vision.
“Our aim is indispensability,” Omotayo says. “Whether we acquire complementary startups or integrate with global platforms we focus on making African work more efficient.”
Analysts value the global Device as a Service market at $455 billion by 2030, growing close to 40 % each year. As remote work settles and compliance rules tighten, Africa’s share is set to expand rapidly. With regional credibility, active credit lines and deep logistics intelligence, gamp is well positioned to turn hardware from liability into leverage.
