SA startup InvestSure secures fresh funding, eyes Aussie market

Loading player...
JOHANNESBURG — In May 2018, I interviewed the team at InvestSure, which developed a world-first insurance technology product which protects buyers of shares from management teams that mislead and deceive shareholders. The product is aimed at protecting shareholders from Steinhoff-styled meltdowns that are sparked off by managers behaving badly. And in the last year, there's been plenty more meltdowns on the JSE - you just need to look at the likes of EOH and Resilient. Interestingly, InvestSure has raised more capital and it's even eyeing the Australian market in combination with a push by its partner EasyEquities into that market. Shane Curran and Ignatius Nkwinika, who are the founders of Investure, tell me more in this interview. - Gareth van Zyl Learn more about your ad choices.
