I am glad to finally share that Launch Africa Ventures has invested in Servisor, an innovative online platform transforming the vehicle servicing industry in South Africa. We were drawn to Servisor for several key reasons: 1. Addressing a clear market gap - South Africa lacks a centralized platform for consumers to transparently compare service options, and prices, and book instantly online. Servisor elegantly solves this problem with their solution. Their platform empowers consumers with choice, convenience and savings of up to 30%. 2. Massive and growing market - South Africa's passenger vehicle fleet exceeds 7 million cars requiring regular servicing. The aftermarket repair sector is valued at over R50 billion ($3B) annually and growing. Servisor is well-positioned to capture a big share of this market as it shifts online and becomes more price-competitive. 3. Experienced founding team - Servisor's management team, Cale Hollis and Bradley Scorer et al, bring an impressive mix of automotive industry expertise, digital platform experience, and entrepreneurial track records. The team has what it takes to disrupt a complex industry. 4. Robust technology platform - Servisor has developed a feature-rich platform that connects consumers, workshops, and parts suppliers to facilitate service transactions seamlessly. Servisor's technology provides a powerful foundation for growth. At Launch Africa Ventures, we're excited about startups that bring efficiency, transparency, and digital innovation to traditional industries. Servisor embodies this theme by leveraging technology to empower consumers and service providers in the highly fragmented automotive aftermarket. We're thrilled to partner with Servisor's visionary team to transform car care in South Africa and beyond. The future of vehicle servicing is digital, convenient, and customer-centric - and Servisor is leading the way!

If you are an international investor or VC and want to invest in local businesses here in Tanzania, should note the following; 1. Local culture affects how businesses are done. You can't change culture overnight, see how you can work that out 2. Global definitions may not necessarily apply when it comes to startups and SMEs here. 3. Governance is not a quick fix 4. Work with local firms to help you with building strong deal pipeline, "meeting startups at Hyatt for a quick chat won't give you enough deals" 5. Try to localize series tractions (pre-seed to Series A). 6. Majority of businesses are family-owned, giving equity is still a transitional bargain, explore debt instruments as well. 7. Accountants may just want to balance the balance sheets, get deeper into the numbers 8. Due diligence is a good play by a local firm, an international firm with no local knowledge may pass a bad deal or cut-off a good one. 9. Look at the macros and the bigger picture, don't just ignore companies or industries on temporary hiccups 10. Look at the opportunities of doing multiple exits on one deal rather waiting for one big exit

The "need-to-have" sectors such as healthcare, financial services, and climate (which for Beyond Capital Ventures means mobility and agriculture) are the backbone of the African economy — as are MSMEs. 🌍 I had the pleasure of speaking on the topic of "Investing in Africa's Resilient Sectors: A New Future" at the recent #UnstoppableAfrica 2024 conference hosted by the Global Africa Business Initiative in New York City.
