SliceBiz

SliceBiz is an investment platform that provides alternative financing for startups in Africa and emerging markets. It provides a web-based investment platform that can be used by anyone to make micro investment transactions. SliceBiz ensures security and protects both parties of a transaction against fraudulent transactions. SliceBiz is using investors in angel networks to validate companies by allowing angel investors to first provide part of the startup’s funding before turning to the larger middle class group to ask for smaller investments. It is an approach that leverages investments of business professionals whilst at the same time keeping the threshold of investments low enough to encourage a wider public participation and spreading the risks. SliceBiz was launched in 2012 by [Heather Cochran](https://www.crunchbase.com/person/heather-cochran) and is based in Accra, Ghana.
