Jobtech Ethiopia Meetup

​Unlocking success in a marketplace platform can feel like a never-ending puzzle: should you focus on attracting workers first or building demand from employers?

​The Jobtech Alliance, steered by Mercy Corps & BFA Global, in partnership with Afriwork are excited to be hosting the second Jobtech Addis Meetup on 10th October from 5pm at Afriwork offices to discuss how to crack the marketplace code.

​The event aims at providing a space where the leading jobtech platforms and stakeholders in Ethiopia can connect and share insights about scaling marketplaces while balancing the chicken-or-egg dilemma.

Our speakers include:

• ​Semegn Tadesse - CEO, Afriwork.

• ​Kidist Tesfaye – CEO, YeneHealth.

• ​Addis Alemayehou - Chairman, Kazana Group.

• ​Amity Weiss - Managing Partner, Melela Partners.

​
Key discussion topics will include:

• ​Balancing Supply and Demand: Exploring strategies for growing the supply side (workers/providers) versus the demand side (clients/employers) and how each approach shapes platform success.
  

• ​Tackling Early-Stage Challenges: Unpacking the unique hurdles and opportunities that founders encounter when launching a marketplace, and actionable insights on attracting users without tipping the balance.
  

• ​Positioning for Investment: How founders can make their platform appealing to investors by effectively managing marketplace dynamics and demonstrating scalable, long-term growth potential.

​The discussion will be followed by networking.
