I'm proud to share that we've raised $1.1m in pre-seed funding and rebranded to Lingawa (Formerly TopSet)!! 🚀 As Nigerians growing up in the UK, my sister Yvonne W and I always felt a deep connection to our heritage—but also an uncomfortable distance. We struggled to speak our native tongue, Yoruba, fluently, and with that came a sense of loss and even shame. There’s an unspoken belief that understanding your language is tied to understanding yourself, your culture, and your place in the world. It was a feeling we carried with us for years. As we grew older, we realised that this experience wasn’t unique to us. Millions of Africans, Asians, and others in the diaspora feel this same disconnect—wanting to embrace their roots but facing the very real challenge of language barriers. We knew we had to do something to help others like us reconnect with their languages and cultures. This shared experience became the foundation for Lingawa, our edtech platform leveraging AI to make learning African and global languages accessible and engaging for adults and kids everywhere. I’m thrilled to share that we’ve raised $1.1M in pre-seed funding to expand this vision. We’ve also embarked on an exciting new chapter: we’ve rebranded from TopSet to Lingawa to reflect our renewed focus on language learning as a bridge to culture, connection, and identity. Please check out the video below for more context on this transformation. This journey has been possible thanks to so many incredible people. My wife, Simi Williams, has been my rock—thank you for your constant support and encouragement. My co-founders, Yvonne W and Uche Azinge have been tireless in bringing this vision to life. To the Lingawa team, you inspire me every day with your talent and dedication. I’m also deeply grateful to our investors and financial backers: Zrosk Investment Management, WEAV (Women's Enterprise Acceleration Vehicle), Kaleo Ventures, Voltron Capital, Phoenix Fund, Metis Capital Partners, Techstars, Google for Startups, Mastercard Foundation, Dara Treseder and our other incredible angel investors. Your belief in Lingawa’s mission has been transformational. Lingawa is more than a platform—it’s a movement to preserve and celebrate the languages that shape who we are. If you’ve ever struggled to connect with your culture or language, know that you’re not alone. It’s never too late to learn, reconnect, and take pride in your heritage. Here’s to building a future where our languages and cultures thrive. 🌍 #Lingawa #LanguageLearning #AfricanDiaspora #AfricanLanguages #EdTech #AI

Zrosk Acquires Stake in Mecure Industries!🎉 We are pleased to announce that Zrosk Investment Management Ltd. has recently and successfully acquired a 10% equity stake of MeCure Industries PLC, one of Nigeria’s leading pharmaceutical companies. This strategic investment marks a significant milestone for MeCure Industries as it continues to strengthen its capital base and accelerate its growth trajectory. Our Managing Director/Chief Investment Officer Mr. Samson Esemuede, CFA has expressed his excitement about the partnership, saying: “One of our core convictions at Zrosk IM is that ownership of industrial capacity on the African continent is shifting towards indigenous hands. We view the stock market as a theatre of such transition, and we see Mecure Industries as a potential dominant player in the pharmaceutical value chain on the continent. We were drawn to Mecure Industries’ commitment to domesticate pharmaceutical industrial and intellectual capacity which we view as critical especially within the context of extremely high level of pharmaceutical product price inflation. From our analysis, Mecure Industries can deliver products in critical therapeutic areas at a unit cost that helps drive affordability across the population. We are thus proud to be a part of this journey and look forward to supporting Mecure’s ambitious current and future plans” #Zrosk #ZroskInvestmentManagement #AfricanFounded #AlternativeInvestment #Equity #ZroskEquityStake Roselyn Ehi-Uzenabor, ACCA,CPA Olushola Adeniyi Damilola Adeniyi olusegun koleosho Uchenna Jochez okoro Adedolapo Okelana Oladayo Olatunde Mubarak A.
