Tech in Africa
With the beta opening of Kigali’s Norrsken House co-working spaces expected in December, the Norrsken Foundation East Africa has announced its first seed investments in PesaChoice and Viebeg Technologies – two Kigali-based startups.
Financial services technology company PesaChoice is working to bridge the gap between salary payouts and other unexpected expenses facing people with limited access to institutional credit. Users can quickly yet efficiently apply for fixed-interest microloans eliminating the need for predatory lenders, paperwork files, and long waiting times.
Viebeg is an e-health startup offering a procurement platform that ensures healthcare facilities get the right type and quantity of products stocked to save patients. The company software is used by over 230 hospitals across Rwanda, Burundi, and the Congo.
Niklas Adalberth founded Norrsken in 2016 to help entrepreneurs solve some of the world’s greatest challenges.
