Basics

Startabox is an African-focused digital platform designed to connect startups with investors by enhancing visibility and simplifying the fundraising process. Startabox empowers startups to improve their investment readiness and visibility while providing investors with a transparent and efficient tool to assess potential opportunities.

Startabox addresses the common problem of information asymmetry between startups and potential investors, providing a space where startups can create comprehensive, data-driven profiles that give investors all the information they need to make informed investment decisions. Startups can digitize their pitches, showcase financial statements, governance details, and updates, and engage in real-time communication with investors. Key features of the platform include an Investor Preparedness Score, AI-generated pitch documents, access to investor financial data (with consent), and live team chats.
