Virtual Ecosystem, Israel Africa Hub, Launched by Fundz

August 3, 2015 By Ellen Smith

Israel Africa Hub has been launched by Fundz, an Israeli startup that focuses on microfunding and guiding startups in emerging markets in Africa and Asia team. Fundz blends a social media platform for a broad community and recurring micro­payments to selected startups. The platform is not equity-based but rather running on a sponsorship model.

The online community will be paid to ensure users are serious, with members having access to a broad platform built to encourage learning, guidance and face-to-face partnerships.

“This is something that is necessary and long overdue,” said David Mark, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Fundz and co-founder of Israel Africa Hub.

“Israel has always had a connection to Africa. After all in the 1950s and 1960s we helped with transferring much of our water conservation technology to African countries. In many ways we are doing that still today. There is a unique drive in Africa that Israelis recognise and it reminds them of themselves.”

Along with the networking community, Israel Africa Hub will also host live meetups focused on specific industries and growing trends.

Co-founder Sean Obedih agreed Africa and Israel have a long history, with technology providing a new opportunity to enhance and grow that relationship.

“Technology has played a significant part in helping Israel build a modern society and a high technology culture that keeps churning out world class technology companies. African companies have also started producing fantastic companies by solving local challenges and some have scaled globally or internationally,” he said.

Mark said at the time the startup had soft launched the community aspect and would be going live with the funding part in the next 60 days, with Fundz hoping startups from Africa and Asia will make up the majority of users.
