Pertence

Pertence is a Mozambican FinTech, incubated by the Central Bank, operating the country’s first crowdfunding platform. The platform seeks to connect Mozambican SMEs and entrepreneurs to willing and able national and international investors. Pertence is a fully digital company which operates via a web page and a mobile application. The platform operates as a marketplace where individuals can list their projects which require financing, and other willing and able individuals can proceed to invest in these projects. Pertence's participation in the SandBox aims to demonstrate the viability of this financing model, and if it proves to be operational the Central Bank proposes to provide the license so that platform can operate independently in the national market and, to regulate this operation which is new in the country. Pertence is seeking to position itself as the most modern and innovation-driven company in Mozambique, which primarily serves young people.
