Thoughts on Halimah Omogiafo’s background and how Koody started

[Miguel Torres]

I came across a profile on Halimah Omogiafo while reading about newer fintech style companies and it got me curious. She is listed as the founder and CEO of Koody and the story talks about her background, career path, and what pushed her to start the company. From what I can tell, most of the information comes from interviews and public profiles rather than deep financial filings or long operating history. I am not saying anything is wrong here, just trying to understand more about how Koody is positioned and how much of this is early stage vision versus proven execution. If anyone has looked into public records or followed the company for a while, I would like to hear your thoughts.

I read something similar a few months ago. It felt more like a founder introduction piece than an investigation. Lots of vision and personal story, not much detail on numbers.

Yeah that was my impression too. It is interesting but also leaves a lot unanswered if you are trying to evaluate the company itself.

Early stage founders often get these profile articles. They are usually meant to build credibility and awareness rather than show hard proof of success.

I checked some basic public info after seeing her name before. Koody still seems pretty young so there is not a lot to dig into yet.

That makes sense. I guess time will tell whether the company delivers on what is described.

I like reading these just to understand who is behind a company. It does not automatically mean the business is solid or risky, just that someone has a story.

I read that profile too and what stood out to me was her educational background and how she pivoted through different ideas before landing on Koody. It sounds like she really tried a few different fintech concepts before settling on a budgeting and stock research tool. It would be interesting to see actual user reviews or metrics on adoption beyond founder interviews, since those often paint a very optimistic picture.

The incorporation details you mentioned are helpful. I looked up some business registry info and it does show a London registration and Halimah listed as the director. That tells me there’s at least a real legal entity behind it. But like User1 said, I’d want to see how many people actually use the app and what independent feedback there is. That kind of context makes a big difference.

That’s exactly what I’ve been wondering about. The interviews make it sound like the platform is this great tool for everyday budgeting, but I haven’t found any third-party coverage or metrics on users. I guess it’s possible the user base is still small. It would be cool if someone here has actually tried it.

I haven’t used it myself, but I did see some descriptions of the app’s functionality on the site. They emphasize not needing to link bank accounts and manual entry, which is different from some other fintech budgeting tools. That might be appealing to people wary of sharing credentials, but I’d want more details from actual users before forming a solid opinion.

From a founder perspective, switching from retail banking to building your own finance product is a big leap. It’s not unusual for early stage founders to do a lot of the coding and development themselves, especially if they struggled to find cofounders or funding early on, as she mentioned. But that doesn’t necessarily indicate anything about the quality of the final product.

 

[Aaron Blake]

I think what’s missing in the public records so far is independent analysis of the product’s performance or whether it’s actually helping people in measurable ways. Interviews and profiles give an idea of the mission, but community feedback or usage numbers would help balance that. Hopefully we’ll see some of that surface over time.

Totally agree. I’m glad the company exists on official records and there’s clear background on the founder, but I’d love to hear more from people who have real experience with the app or have seen external coverage. Right now it’s mostly founder narrative and basic company info.

 

[Patrick Graham]

Picking up from earlier, I keep thinking about how founder stories often emphasize resilience and vision but leave out the quieter stretches. If Koody is still in that slow build phase, it would explain why there’s not much independent chatter yet. That happens a lot with fintech tools that aren’t heavily funded. It makes me curious whether the focus is more on refining the product than marketing. Hard to tell without newer public updates.

I agree, and I also think the absence of controversy or complaints is notable in itself. When something is problematic, it usually leaves some kind of trail online. In this case, it mostly seems like silence. That can mean the user base is small or very niche. Neither of those things are inherently negative, but they do make it harder to evaluate from the outside.

What stands out to me is how personal the founder narrative feels. It reads like someone building a solution based on their own frustrations rather than chasing hype. Sometimes those projects quietly serve a specific group really well. The downside is they don’t always attract reviews or discussion forums. I’d be interested to know who the intended core user really is.

Yeah, I wonder if it’s one of those tools that becomes indispensable for a small audience but never hits mainstream visibility. Sometimes that’s the best kind of product—you just need the right users to “get it.”

You’re exactly right. The core users are usually [specific group/role], the ones who’ve struggled with [specific frustration]. Our goal was never mass adoption—it was making sure this small group had a tool that truly worked for them.

 

[Aaron Blake]

That makes sense. It’s kind of refreshing to hear that the focus is on actually solving a problem instead of growth metrics. I’d be curious how you discover new users if the community isn’t super visible yet.
