Zidisha careers
We are pioneering the first online microlending community to connect lenders and borrowers directly across international borders - overcoming previously insurmountable barriers of geography, wealth and circumstance.
THE INNOVATION
People in developing countries support their families with their own small businesses. They need loans in order to grow - but local banks charge exorbitant interest rates.
Traditional microlending websites also use local banks to manage the loans, and the end borrowers pay the same exorbitant rates for the loans funded through these sites.
We bypass expensive local banks and connect lenders and borrowers directly. The result is a fairly priced loan - and a friendship that transcends geography.
WHAT WE'VE DONE
We've funded 1.9 million dollars in loans to over 6000 small businesses in Africa and Asia. Now we're ready to scale up our service into something that will change the world.
