Inspiration
As someone who’s always been keen on investing and buying stocks, I quickly realized how difficult it is to actually participate in the Botswana Stock Exchange. The process was overwhelming full of paperwork, long email threads, broker visits, and unnecessary admin. It felt outdated and inaccessible, especially for young people like me who are used to doing everything with just a tap on their phones. I also noticed that many Batswana don’t even know they can buy shares in companies like Choppies or FNBB, and there's very little accessible education about how the stock market works locally.
What it does
This frustration sparked the idea for our project: a digital broker platform that simplifies and modernizes stock investing in Botswana. I’ve learned so much through this journey from understanding how the current BSE system works, to studying how CSD accounts, brokers, and KYC processes tie together. We designed the app to make onboarding easy, with digital ID verification, wallet integration, and real-time stock browsing. It also includes AI-powered insights and educational tools to help users make smarter investment decisions.
