Message from our CEO

PitchInvestors is a result of my lifelong desire to create a company focused on helping SMEs grow.

In Kenya and by extension Africa, Micro, Small and Medium Size Enterprises (MSMEs) contribute hugely to the economy. They employ 74% of the country's working population and contribute 54% to the country’s GDP. One of the biggest challenges faced by MSMEs is the lack of capital to properly manage their working capital and invest in fixed capital for growth. As a result, they fail to grow and many times are forced to close down. The other challenge comes with poor financial management and planning. Given that most MSMEs are managed by individuals with no financial background and who can hardly afford to employ one full-time accountant or financial analyst. Many fail to plan well and develop realistic budgets that cover areas such as tax, working capital and CAPEX.

PitchInvestors aims to help MSMEs tackle these two problems. The platforms connect investors looking for an investment opportunity to investments. This way, the MSMEs can access the capital needed to run their operations and expand. The platform also connects qualified financial advisors to MSMEs on a freelance contract. This helps MSMEs get the needed financial advice to help them better plan and manage their finances. We truly believe that the value we create extends beyond the success of MSMEs, but to the economy as a whole. This is the true power of technology.
