Nithio

ABOUT THEM Nithio is a venture-backed energy finance platform that provides services to businesses, capital providers, governments and other stakeholders in the distributed solar sector in Africa. The company aims to address the acute need for modern energy access on the continent by providing a sustainable infrastructure for capital delivery, offering state-of-the-art underwriting tools, and a powerful information sharing platform for stakeholders to identify high-need grant recipients and credit-worthy customers.   Nithio is the solution for scaling off-grid energy. They increase the ecosystem's effectiveness by advancing customer intelligence with AI-driven insights and by channeling capital through a financial intermediary platform for investors and solar operators. Limited Data and Transparency Consumer targeting, market intelligence and customer creditworthiness determination is ineffective and inexact, limiting targeted sales and precision cash flow projections. Little Flexibility, Liquidity and Scale Viable multi-country, multi-operator investments with requisite ticket sizes are lacking. Financial and social returns are imprecise, while opaque portfolio performance and ineffective risk pricing reduce viable receivables-backed financing opportunities. Broken Credit Scoring Models Markets lack clarity on characteristics of repayment behaviors and future payment predictability, creating missed sales opportunities and inaccurate portfolio risk assessment.
