Zambian startup Bosso, a cutting-edge construction e-commerce platform aimed at delivering solutions for the African construction and building sector, has raised a US$400,000 pre-seed round of funding to further develop its platform and add new features. The platform benefits the construction sector by making quality and affordable building materials available to everyone, everywhere, in Zambia. The startup has so far onboarded over 1,000 hardware stores in Zambia, served over 200 homebuilders with source materials, and delivered construction materials to four out of 10 Zambian provinces. “The housing crisis is real, and Africa needs a Bosso tackling this issue because everyone deserves decent and affordable housing. We want to bring our mission to the entire continent, starting with Southern Africa, as well launch a new AI building materials assistant to accelerate our solution.”
