In January, Ethiopian talent marketplace Gebeya secured an undisclosed  pre-Series A to evolve from being a simple two-sided tech talent marketplace into being a provisioner of marketplaces under a “Marketplace-as-a-Service” model.

“We are not establishing the marketplaces, but providing support for existing marketplaces to thrive,” Amadou Daffe, co-founder and CEO of Gebeya told Benjamindada.com. “We are not building these marketplaces from scratch, but more of finding already existing marketplaces with solid entrepreneurs behind them, and supporting them.” Gebeya has since commenced this initiative and is currently partnering and providing marketplace-as-a-service to Lifeline Addis Home-based Healthcare, Eshi Express, Utentic, and YeneHealth, among the early marketplaces.
