Biography

Teddy Kossoko is a French-Central African entrepreneur working at the intersection of gaming, storytelling, and creative industries.

Founder of Gara, he is building a pan-African platform structuring the full creative value chain — from content production to monetization, distribution, and financing — enabling creators and publishers to scale across new markets. Through his work, he collaborates with international publishers, governments, and public institutions to open and structure the African market, with support from European Union initiatives.

His approach is deeply data-driven, with regular insights shared on audience behavior, content consumption, and monetization dynamics across emerging markets, helping global stakeholders better understand and engage with African audiences.

Alongside Gara, he develops original IPs and produces video games through Masseka Game Studio, while also building next-generation distribution and monetization platforms for digital content.

His work has gained international recognition, including being ranked twice in Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 (2018 & 2022), and selection in leading global programs such as the NBA Africa Triple Double Accelerator.
