Yango Group, a global tech company, has introduced Yango Ventures, a $20 million corporate venture fund aimed at supporting early-stage startups across Africa and other emerging markets. The fund seeks to drive innovation in O2O services, B2B SaaS, and fintech while offering mentorship and strategic support.
Gig workers in Côte d'Ivoire are getting lending solutions thanks to this initiative. It’s currently exclusive to Yango's partner drivers, but there are plans to expand it to consumers, food delivery agents, and merchants in the future.
