Jobtech Investment Network
Jobtech Investment Network
Jobtech platforms play a critical role in creating and mediating work in Africa. Funding is critical to stimulating the birth and growth of jobtech startups, yet capital inflows to the sector in Africa have historically been small. The sector has fallen through the cracks of traditional investment thesis—too risky for venture capital and too complex for philanthropic funding.
Why the Jobtech Investment Network
We have established the Jobtech Investment Network to increase affordable, smart funding into the Jobtech sector. The network is creating a community of funders actively supporting – or interested in working with – platforms in the jobtech sector in Africa. Through the network, there are opportunities to:
Insights and learning:
Access, learn and contribute to the industry insights and learning share with investors on different jobtech business models through a bi-monthly newsletter
Networking:
Connect with other investors through meetups, workshops, peer learning and opportunities to co-invest
Startup introductions
Connect to over 150 Jobtech platforms through 1-1 connections and demo days
The Network is privy to the progress of Jobtech Alliance ventures and is matched with those that meet their investment criteria via double opt-in introductions.
Who is part of the Network?
Join a stellar network of 35+ investors, including VC, Impact, Angel, Philanthropic and a Network of investors primarily focused on pre-seed and seed investments across sectors.
