A centralised, gated pipeline of Southern Africa's most investment-ready technology startups — built for institutional investors, DFIs, and pension fund managers who need verified data, not a directory.
Every startup in the repository will meet strict, audited thresholds across four pillars. No self-reporting. No vanity metrics. Just investment-grade data that lets capital flow with confidence.
Startups are audited and submitted by certified local ecosystem partners — not self-published.
Public profiles show basic data. Verified global VCs and local pension managers receive gated access to clean cap tables, SAFE notes, and financial dashboards.
Vetted data pipes directly into Crunchbase and Dealroom — permanently putting SADC startups on the global investor radar.
