Anis Kallel \u201917 (KEY)<\/p><\/div>\n

Anis Kallel \u201917 (KEY) was born and raised in Tunis, Tunisia, the northernmost country in Africa, bordered by Algeria, Libya, and the Mediterranean Sea. When he was a boy, Kallel aspired to attend medical school. As he got older, though, he became fascinated with computer science. \u201cThe ability to be any place on earth with just a laptop and reach millions of people through computer code intrigued me,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s the closest thing to magic that I\u2019ve ever encountered.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it came time to develop his list of potential colleges, Kallel started simple, filling out an online survey. At 4,500 miles away, the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ came up as a 100 percent match. Drawn to the Rochester Curriculum\u2014along with the opportunities to learn outside the classroom\u2014Kallel submitted his application and was awarded a full tuition scholarship, making it possible for him to attend his dream school for the next four years.<\/p>\n

As an undergraduate, Kallel valued the knowledge of his professors, the camaraderie among his peers, and internships at such places as Microsoft and Electronic Arts. He also took part in the Kaufman Entrepreneurial Year program (now known as the University\u2019s e5 program)<\/a>, offered through the Ain Center for Entrepreneurship. This gave him the opportunity to spend a fifth academic year working with Seedstars World, a Swiss investment group. That experience landed him in 16 African markets to identify the best early-stage talent in which to invest. In the process, he worked with hundreds of African entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Kallel cofounded a financial technology company called Kaoun<\/a>, which means \u201cuniverse\u201d in Arabic. He chose the name to reflect his global aspiration to increase financial opportunities for those who don\u2019t use or have access to a bank account. Kallel is also the company\u2019s chief technology officer.<\/p>\n

Kallel recently answered questions about his \u00a0life and career since leaving Rochester.<\/p>\n

Why start Kaoun? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Right now, about 1.7 billion people\u2014about a quarter of the world\u2019s population\u2014are unbanked, which means these people never use a bank and don\u2019t have money in one. Instead, they rely on cash transactions for everything, from buying food to purchasing materials for a house to paying for medical treatment. In Africa, more than 50 percent of the population is unbanked.<\/p>\n

I know firsthand how challenging it is to only rely on cash. For perspective, when I applied to the University and other U.S. colleges, it was a process to get them my applications and SAT scores. I had to travel to someone I knew who had a bank account. Then, I had to give that person cash so that he could use his account to pay for my information to get forwarded to each institution.<\/p>\n

This is the way it is\u2014seemingly simple things are hard and tedious for the unbanked. For those who are banked, it\u2019s hard to imagine life without that access. At Kaoun, we are developing tools such as our flagship product, Flouci<\/a>, along with the infrastructure to help the unbanked organize their lives and businesses, access financial systems, and grow their wealth.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Flouci? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s an app that allows for an entirely digital banking experience. Although people haven\u2019t had easy access to banking, more do have access to mobile phones. We have been drawing on technology that works with low-end phones and doesn\u2019t rely on an expensive data plan. With our app, people can open a free, secure bank account within minutes. They can send and receive money instantly, pay merchants online and in stores immediately, and provide electronic signatures that enable remote access to government services.<\/p>\n

To protect people, we use top tier data protection and authentication protocols, a multi-step authentication process, and a secure infrastructure to prevent breaches and fraudulent transactions. Over the last two and a half years, we\u2019ve worked with Tunisian regulators and financial institutions to make this a viable option for people.<\/p>\n

How do people get started? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

To get an account started, people can ask someone else to place funds in their new account or they can wire transfer funds to it. People can also deposit money at partner bank branches, and, soon, through an agent network of brick-and-mortar stores.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s been the biggest challenge for you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In most mature markets, an infrastructure already exists. But, in the markets we serve, we have to build the infrastructure from the ground up and then find ways to monetize opportunities. Although similar apps exist, the technology they feature assumes people already have a bank account. That\u2019s not our baseline. The people using our app keep their cash under their pillows. Flouci allows them to move into the digital space. It\u2019s a thrill and a challenge to work on this.<\/p>\n

Why do you think there\u2019s so much investment opportunity in Africa? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

A few reasons. There are 1.2 billion people in Africa\u2014with 2 billion projected by 2050. Right now, 60 percent of them are under the age of 24. It\u2019s kind of a ticking time bomb as all of these people will grow up and need jobs, housing, and many services. We need to prepare for this today, which leads to a lot of potential opportunity for investors and for talented local entrepreneurs who know the issues in their markets.<\/p>\n

How has brain drain affected Africa? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brain drain has been an issue in Africa and many other developing countries for decades. Not long ago, if people left the place they grew up, they often didn\u2019t come back. That\u2019s changing though. Everyone wants to lead better lives and be successful, but today, more of us\u2014those who are lucky to pursue an overseas education\u2014want to return home. It\u2019s about purpose for many of us\u2014about finding solutions to local problems that can be scaled up to benefit greater numbers of people.<\/p>\n

Who are your role models?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Right now, my business peers are my role models\u2014they are making entrepreneurial inroads in Africa. I\u2019m part of a group called the Harambeans<\/a>, an African entrepreneurial alliance that meets often to exchange ideas and talk about the ways we\u2019ve overcome challenges. We all want to build Africa\u2019s economy and increase opportunities for Africans. We also know that what we are doing can be an example for other developing nations.<\/p>\n

How did being a Rochester student help you get where you are today?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Being a double major in computer science and business allowed me to gain globally competitive skills. With my business know-how and technological skills, I came to realize that I didn\u2019t need significant capital to help make the world ever better\u2014just like the University\u2019s motto says. The KEY year was immensely helpful and gave me the chance to really dive deep into the issues and the opportunities across Africa, all while meeting people focused on using technology to build solutions.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your advice to budding entrepreneurs?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Develop an \u201canti-fragile\u201d mindset. This means that you become not only resilient, but that you actually get stronger in the face of chaos, adversity, and uncertainty. Every entrepreneur needs to know how to work through a crisis and thrive in it. This helps us adapt, iterate, and improve.<\/p>\n
