African Vendor Network
The African Vendor Network (AVN) is a digital and physical market infrastructure platform that formalises informal traders and MSMEs by providing digital identity, trust scoring, logistics integration, and access to finance and public procurement. AV
The African Vendor Network (AVN) is seeking strategic investment and institutional partnership to scale a sovereign digital infrastructure platform designed to formalize Africa’s informal economy and integrate MSMEs into structured commerce, finance, and public procurement systems.
We are looking for:
• Growth capital to scale deployment across Zimbabwe and expand regionally
• Strategic investors aligned with digital infrastructure, fintech, logistics, and inclusive economic development
• Technical partnerships supporting cloud infrastructure, AI deployment, and interoperable digital identity systems
• Market access partners to accelerate integration with governments, municipalities, financial institutions, and procurement ecosystems
AVN operates as a “Civilization Operating System” enabling vendors to access digital identity, trust scoring, procurement participation, logistics, and embedded financial services through a unified platform.
Our objective is to build Africa’s largest verified vendor ecosystem — transforming informal traders into bankable, finance-ready, procurement-eligible economic actors while creating scalable data-driven investment opportunities.
We welcome investors who understand long-term infrastructure plays capable of unlocking inclusive growth across emerging African markets.
