02 · Problem

The problem

African markets are hard to reach from abroad.

Diaspora and global investors want exposure to African growth — but brokerage rails, FX, custody, and local licensing are fragmented across exchanges.

Fragmented access
JSE, NSE, NGX, ZSE each need local brokers, rails, and compliance — not one retail UX.
Opaque journey
Quotes, fees, and corridor status are rarely explained in one calm product surface.
Trust gap
Cross-border investors need regulated partners — not another unlicensed “global broker” claim.

03 · Solution

Solution

One product layer. Local brokers underneath.

INVESTÄ is the consumer app and B2B routing layer — discovery, portfolio, cash, and fees — while licensed brokers execute and settle in each market.

Retail & diaspora

Browse markets, simulate invest / sell / withdraw, understand fees and corridor status.

Institutions & brokers

Partner onboarding, API sandbox, and revenue visibility for diligence conversations.

We do not replace local brokerage. We route eligible activity to regulated partners — when live services are permitted.

04 · Market

Market opportunity

Diaspora capital + deepening African exchanges.

Cross-border demand for African equities is real; the product gap is trusted, corridor-aware access — not another generic trading app.

Four beachhead markets
South Africa (JSE), Kenya (NSE), Nigeria (NGX), Zimbabwe (ZSE) — educational depth today, partner path tomorrow.
Diaspora & remittance adjacency
$31.5B inbound remittances (2024) across beachhead countries — a funded adjacency for investment and payout corridors.
B2B distribution
Banks, wealth apps, and brokers can embed African market access via API — once corridors are live.

10% of remittance flow → revenue & profit ranges.

Apply demo fees to $3.15B of influenced volume ($31.5B × 10%). Assumption-driven — not current revenue.

• 40% of captured volume settles as investments @ 25 bps trade fee
• 60% settles as cash corridors @ €0.50 + 10 bps withdraw fee
• Avg withdrawal ticket $250 (illustrative) for flat-fee roll-up
• 50% contribution margin after partner/rail COGS & fee share
• No historical AUM, revenue, or remittance market share claimed

10 · Go-to-market

Go-to-market

Corridor-first. Partner-led. Product as proof.

1. Beachhead corridors
Prioritize JSE and NSE partner outreach; NGX sandbox storytelling; ZSE educational depth.
2. Broker LOIs
Sign coverage with licensed dealing members before any live routing claims.
3. Diaspora & waitlist
Convert demo explorers into waitlist interest for when eligibility opens.
4. B2B embed
Wealth and remittance partners distribute African market access via API once rails exist.

11 · Competition

Landscape & moat

Honest: we are early. Moat is corridor depth + trust.

Global brokers

Strong UX, weak African exchange coverage and local settlement.

Local desks

Licensed and trusted in-market — harder for diaspora to discover and use from abroad.

INVESTÄ (vision)

One product surface + regulated partners per corridor. Demo proves UX; licenses unlock money.

Defensibility comes from signed broker coverage, corridor compliance craft, and a product diaspora actually finish — not from this demo alone.
