      JUMO is used by most small business owners because they feel that their business can be strengthened by this business. JUMO has found small business solutions and these small companies will become big businesses, so it would be good for the organization to be part of this improvement.
  • Last year, the Cape Town-based fintech startup became the first South African startup to be selected by Google for its Launchpad accelerator. Since its inception in January 2015 to April 2017, the company has grown from just seven to 300 employees.

    I like the idea that a South African company is competing with a lot of fintech companies and has been selected by Google for an accelerator program. I think that the company could learn many insights from this accelator.
