Black Swan Pre-seed

According to a statement released on Tuesday and cited by Technext, this year’s event centred on fintech companies delivering transformative solutions that expand financial inclusion. Ten finalists competed at the finale, each presenting practical, growth-ready products addressing real issues in payments, credit access, insurance, and trade finance. By securing first place, Black Swan earned a $50,000 equity investment, inclusion in the MEST Portfolio, and the chance to collaborate with Absa business units to pilot commercial solutions across the continent.
