To bridge the critical funding gap for Ethiopia’s SMEs and startups by creating the nation’s first regulated, secure, and accessible crowd investment platform
An end-to-end digital ecosystem featuring a multi-sided platform for issuers, investors, and regulators, built on a robust, scalable, and secure technology stack.
Democratized investment, unlocked a new capital source for businesses, and established a new benchmark for transparency and corporate governance in Ethiopia’s financial market.
The Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX), in a landmark initiative supported by FSD Ethiopia, set out to fundamentally transform the landscape of business financing in the country. Startups and Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs)—the backbone of the economy—have historically faced immense challenges in accessing capital for growth and innovation.
The challenge was clear: How do you connect a nation’s most promising entrepreneurs with a vast, untapped pool of local and diaspora investors in a way that is transparent, secure, and regulated?
ESX entrusted 360Ground with the ambitious mission to design, develop, and deploy the Crowd Investment Platform (CIP)—a digital marketplace poised to redefine capital formation in Ethiopia.
