# List of SaaS companies in Africa

Tamtam tracks 88 SaaS companies headquartered in Africa. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by HPS, Selar and Derivco. Their median headcount is 177. Half of them were founded in 2010 or later. The most common headquarters are Cape Town (7), Cairo (5) and Nairobi (4).

This selection of large SaaS companies across Africa predominantly features firms in financial services and IT consulting, alongside significant players in software development. Most of these companies, like HPS and MiX Telematics, were founded between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, indicating a mature and established sector. The list includes companies such as Selar, an e-commerce tool for African creators; Omni, which digitizes traditional trade; and Yoco, empowering entrepreneurs with payment solutions.

A notable pattern is the geographic distribution, with a strong presence of headquarters in South Africa (La Lucia, Midrand, Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town) and Nigeria (Lagos), alongside significant hubs in Morocco (Casablanca, Rabat) and Egypt (Cairo). This highlights key regional centers for large-scale SaaS operations on the continent. The recurring focus on financial and payment solutions across these companies underscores a common market need.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
