A huge amount of employment in East Africa exists in the informal sector.
People often working on an ad hoc basis with little record of what they do.
This means that it is difficult for workers to build a reputation, and for customers generate trust.
Adam and Johannes at Lynk see a great opportunity to use technology to bring value in this broad sector.
We talk about how the founding story of their services marketplace above a hardware store, the processes around matching customers and workers, and their vision for how data can bring benefits to whole sector.
It’s a super interesting episode, and I hope you enjoy
