Numida uses proprietary credit models and tech-enabled underwriting processes to provide unsecured working capital loans to African micro and small businesses. Instead of borrowing from informal lenders or family, business owners download the Numida app, apply in minutes, and receive capital within a day. There are 20 million of these businesses in Africa, representing a $5 billion market opportunity, and traditional microfinance is failing them. We have figured out how to score and disburse unsecured loans to cash-based businesses that have no digital transaction history, with excellent collection rates. Within 10 years, we anticipate enabling at least 1 million small business owners on the continent to achieve their dreams. We are backed by world-class investors such as Serena Ventures, Onafrig, Breega, and 4Di Capital.
