There are moments in a company’s journey that feel less like a milestone and more like a mirror. That is a chance to look back at how far you’ve come and forward at how much further you can go. For Prestmit, becoming a Gold Sponsor of Moonshot 2026, the flagship conference by TechCabal, is exactly that moment.

Between October 28th and 29th, 2026, Africa’s brightest builders, boldest founders, and most forward-thinking investors will converge on the National Theatre in Lagos, Nigeria, for two days of ideas, deals, and the kind of energy that only a room full of people obsessed with the future can generate. And this year, Prestmit will be right there in the room, not just as an observer, but as a partner invested in the outcome.

A Homecoming, Not Just Sponsorship

Prestmit was born in Lagos at a time when gift card or crypto trading in Nigeria meant navigating a confusing path of unreliable middlemen and unclear rates. What started as a simple promise (fast, fair, transparent digital asset trading) has grown into a virtual asset marketplace trusted by millions of users across Nigeria, Ghana, and beyond. Today, the platform offers everything from buying and selling gift cards to crypto-to-cash conversions, eSIMs, bill payments, and airtime-to-cash.

So when we say we are sponsoring Moonshot 2026, it doesn’t feel like stepping into someone else’s spotlight. It feels like coming home. This is because Moonshot is where Africa’s tech ecosystem tells its own story, on its own terms, and Prestmit has always believed in building African solutions for African realities, and by extension, for the world.

Why Moonshot and Why Now?

Moonshot isn’t just another conference on the calendar. It has become the agenda-setting gathering for African tech, pulling together builders, business leaders, policymakers, and investors to spotlight conversations on the future of e-commerce, climate tech, the creative economy, artificial intelligence (AI), etc. 

It is the kind of event where a five-minute hallway conversation can turn into a partnership, and where a single panel discussion can shift how an entire industry thinks about a problem.

For a company like Prestmit, which sits at the intersection of fintech, crypto, and everyday commerce, there is no better room to be in. Conversations on financial inclusion, building trust in digital assets, and scaling across a continent as diverse and dynamic as Africa are discourses we have internally every single day.

Therefore, being a Gold Sponsor means we get to bring that perspective to the table, not from the sidelines, but as an active participant shaping the dialogue.

What Gold Sponsorship Means for the Community

Sponsorship, done right, isn’t a logo on a banner. It is a commitment. As a Gold Sponsor of Moonshot 2026, Prestmit is putting resources, visibility, and voice behind an event that exists to elevate African innovation on a global stage.

Practically, that means attendees can expect to see Prestmit woven into the fabric of the experience. This is from brand presence throughout the venue to opportunities to engage directly with our team about how we are solving digital trading and payment challenges for everyday Africans. 

It also means we are supporting the broader mission Moonshot represents: creating space for founders to be seen, for ideas to be tested, and for the African tech narrative to be written by the people actually building it.

Building Trust, One Transaction at a Time

If there is one theme that connects Prestmit’s work to the spirit of Moonshot, it is trust. Digital trading, whether it is converting a gift card to cash or exchanging crypto for naira, only works when people believe the platform behind it has their back. That belief isn’t won with marketing; it is earned through consistency, transparency, and showing up when things go wrong, not just when they go right.

That same principle applies to how we think about our role at Moonshot. We are not there to make noise. We are there to add value through the conversations we have, the founders we meet, and the ideas we help push forward.

A Continent Full of Moonshots

The name “Moonshot” carries weight for a reason. It evokes audacity, which is the conviction that the boldest, most improbable ideas are often the ones worth chasing. 

Africa’s tech scene is full of these moonshots: fintech platforms bringing millions of unbanked people into the formal economy, healthtech startups closing access gaps in remote communities, and yes, platforms like Prestmit making digital assets usable for people who might otherwise be locked out of them.

Sponsoring this event is our way of saying we believe in that audacity. We believe the next big idea in African tech might be sketched on a piece of paper during a meet-and-greet session at the National Theatre. We believe partnerships formed in Lagos this October could reshape how millions of people access financial services across the continent.
