Our practice is focused on deployments of technology, human-centred design thinking, and data analytics for business growth and expansion. We leverage digital and social technologies to trigger and nurture the transformative growth of businesses.

Our Profile 

Spurt! was founded to develop local companies into regional and global giants. Local companies struggle to scale due to bureaucracy, inaccessible financing, organisational challenges, and sub-Saharan Africa’s geopolitical conditions. Our objective is to catalyse and support the growth of large local companies with sufficient scale and capacity to add value locally and regionally. 

Our Culture 

We are a remote company and engage individuals passionate about creatively problem-solving and prosperity building for Africa in and from any part of the world. We work long hours solving hard problems and are intentional about being champions of each other’s growth. 

1. Entrepreneurial: this is a business after all, we need to be building and breaking barriers, that means we don’t just see problems we create profitable solutions 

2. Dynamic: you need to be adept at adjusting quickly and effectively to new situations 

3. Ethical: we absolutely need to be able to trust your ability to do what is right, not just what is expedient because we will not be micromanaging you 

4. Resourceful: this is a start-up environment, you will not always have the help or resources you need, but we hope you will be adaptable and resourceful in driving value creation and problem-solving 

5. Passionate: we are a lot about what we are building at Spurt! and it’s important for your success that you are passionate too 

6. Visionary: it is important that you always hold the big picture in mind, our mission is quite grand 

7. Sociable: remote work is hard to do but is made better by people committed to being present, thoughtful, and communicative
