We Are Supported By :

We loved the energy of the Spoon Money team, the fact that they are solving a sizeable problem in their communities and their data-driven approach to monitoring their progress.

Spoon Money arrived with an idea which we thought had merit. The team has subsequently pivoted into an enterprise which we’re even more excited about. They’ve shown great tenacity and perseverance working in a segment known to be super-challenging.

I used to sell small items, underwear, shoes, but with Spoon’s support, I’ve been able to expand to sell jean and jackets as well which has really helped boost my business.

Committed, focused and "all-in" are characteristics we look for in founders, and the Spoon Money team encompasses all of the above. Furthermore, with a unique business plan, and fulfilling a unique problem, we believe in the boldness of what Spoon Money is aiming to achieve. Spoon Money is truly speaking to the economic and gender economic shortfalls of South Africa.

More important than the highly competitive return, I invested because the Spoon Money team are passionate about the financial transformation that they are able to bring to their customers lives. With that level of enthusiasm and commitment, they truly can change the face of financial inclusion as we know it

We're thrilled to welcome Spoon Money to our portfolio, and particularly excited about their potential to impact underserved women in South Africa.

Spoon Money’s dedication to uplifting informal traders and creating sustainable employment for a marginalised community is a natural fit to the SAB Foundation’s purpose of empowering female entrepreneurs. We are excited to be a part of Spoon Money’s journey and believe they will grow as an enterprise and change the economic conditions of many.
