I
have always been a numbers person since my childhood. I sold things in my primary school and that really gave me a good start. The interest to add and multiply money made me to love the finance industry to be specific. I started my first business in 2013 when I was in my 3rd year in university. To get started was really hard considering the capital requirements I needed. I tried to borrow money from literally any person I could talked to, not excluding banks and micro finances. My search for capital was fruitless. The end of the story is that I started the business. When you want to do something, it’s the call of your soul and your desire that attracts the resources. Since then I have always had a desire to help other small businesses and startups. I would want to say that, it is those that are in the house that know the needs of the people in the house.
ing things that I admire about myself is the hunger to always put to practice what I learn. In the past 18 months we have exceeded 480 loans, these are sizeable loans and not for consumption mostly but for production. We have raised capital for 15 businesses with our platform www. startupinvest.co.zw. We have created several investment products that help the general population to invest regardless of their networth. My passion is to see dreams of many young entrepreneurs come to pass and also to see a world where anyone can be in total control of their financial future by investing without discrimination of income levels .To help our customers invest, we developed two mobile applications for SMEs and general population to build robust financial intelligence that will help them save and invest. It’s always important to have good financial habits and to be well informed about where your money is going. The two serves the purpose. The applications are called Rongamari and Rongamari Plus respectively
