Joe Kinvi

Joe Kinvi, Founder & CEO of Borderless, the all-in-one platform that enables community managers to launch, engage, and scale global communities, from co-investment groups to professional networks, and head of HoaQ, an investor collective with over 100 early-stage bets across Africa and its diaspora, providing founders with strategic capital and a built-in support system.

A high-impact operator before building companies, Joe served as Head of Finance at Touchtech Payments (acquired by Stripe), Growth Lead at Stripe, and Partnerships Lead at Paystack. Rooted in finance, M&A, and business development expertise, he now channels his skills into accelerating Africa’s innovation economy, driven by the belief that founder-led businesses, not aid, will unlock the continent’s next growth chapter.
