Tapping into the Power of the Crowd
- Growing businesses in Africa have little access to Finance, Bank Loans, or Credit.
- Wekeza is revolutionizing the investment process in Africa which is inefficient, limited, and slow.
- Wekeza taps into the tradition of crowdfunding among the diverse African diaspora where entire communities pool together resources to invest.
- Wekeza is updating this crowdfunding business model to match our age of iOS & Android.
Why now?
- Africa is home to 7 of the top 10 fastest growing economies worldwide and boasts a rapidly growing young population that is increasingly tech savvy.
- More than half of the world's population growth will be in Africa by 2050.
- According to the World Bank, the African diaspora remits $160 billion annually with a large % going towards investment purposes.
