Company mission
To create the technology that allows businesses to offer life-changing products to anyone, anywhere.
-2% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Born from the belief that a business can interweave both financial and social returns, Angaza is a software development company creating a pay as you go platform for companies to sell their products to customers living off the grid, making life-changing products accessible to low-income homes. By using Angaza’s software, distribution businesses are able to access data and analytics that enable them to extend smart consumer financing plans to unbanked consumers in rural regions.
It functions on a consumer-first basis. Through an understanding of its users, Angaza has created a human-centred design, developing products with their needs in mind, doing so by making regular field visits with its distribution partners. These visits consist of engaging with clients and making changes based on these observations. The success is clear with over 200 distributors in over 50 countries relying on Angaza’s technology.
Continued investment will go towards scaling Angaza’s customer service and commercial business teams in Kenya. Angaza also plans to accrue new partnerships with manufacturers with the goal to grow the company’s portfolio of devices available for sale through its platform and improving its core product offering.
