OneDosh Secures $3 Million Pre-Seed Funding to Build Global Stablecoin Payment Infrastructure
Nigerian-founded financial technology startup OneDosh has successfully closed a $3 million pre-seed funding round to develop what it describes as the stablecoin-powered payment infrastructure the global economy has been waiting for. The company aims to create borderless payment rails that could transform how money moves internationally.
From Personal Friction to Global Solution
Founded in February 2025 by Nigerian entrepreneurs Jackson Ukuevo (Co-Founder & CEO), Godwin Okoye (Co-Founder), and Babatunde Osinowo (Co-Founder), OneDosh emerged from the founders' firsthand experiences with financial system limitations while living and traveling globally.
The team encountered numerous obstacles including blocked cards, frozen accounts, slow cross-border transfers, and currency constraints that highlighted the inefficiencies in traditional payment systems. Their conclusion was clear: the problem isn't demand for better payment solutions, but rather the lack of adequate infrastructure to support seamless global transactions.
Current Operations and Future Vision
Currently, OneDosh is operational in two of the world's most active remittance and stablecoin corridors: the United States and Nigeria. The platform enables users to:
- Transfer money from the U.S. to Nigeria efficiently
- Store value in stablecoins for financial stability
- Spend globally using stablecoin-powered cards integrated with Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Make payments anywhere Visa is accepted worldwide
However, the company views this as merely the beginning. At its core, OneDosh is building foundational stablecoin rails that connect wallets, cards, and countries into a single, programmable infrastructure. As stablecoins increasingly become the default settlement tool for global payments, such infrastructure becomes essential rather than optional.
Experienced Team and Strategic Funding Allocation
The OneDosh founding team brings substantial experience in executing innovative financial solutions, with backgrounds at prominent organizations including ZeroHash, Plaid, and Amazon. Their expertise spans critical areas such as compliance, payment systems, and large-scale product development.
The newly secured $3 million pre-seed funding will accelerate several key initiatives:
- Corridor expansion to additional international markets
- Deepening liquidity partnerships with financial institutions
- Enabling senior executive hires to strengthen leadership
This strategic investment positions OneDosh at the intersection of stablecoins, global spending capabilities, and real-world payment applications.
The Inevitable Shift Toward Borderless Finance
OneDosh's vision aligns with what many financial experts see as an inevitable evolution in global payments. The company emphasizes that the opportunity is not speculative—the consumer behavior and demand already exist. People worldwide increasingly seek faster, cheaper, and more reliable ways to move money across borders.
With these payment rails now being actively developed and deployed, borderless money is transitioning from theoretical vision to practical reality. For Nigeria specifically, this development represents a significant advancement in financial technology infrastructure that could dramatically improve remittance flows and international payment capabilities.
The successful funding round demonstrates growing investor confidence in African-led fintech solutions that address genuine global challenges in the financial sector.
