Sou Sou was a financial technology company founded by Fonta Gilliam, aiming to digitize the traditional, community-based savings practice known as a "sou-sou" or ROSCA. The platform allowed users to form private savings groups, contribute a fixed amount of money regularly, and take turns receiving the lump-sum payout. The company's mission was to promote financial inclusion, help individuals save for specific goals, and provide a tool for communities to manage money without relying on traditional banking products. Despite initial funding and media attention, the company ceased operations in late 2019.
