28 Apr 2024

Talstack, a groundbreaking all-in-one platform, is set to revolutionize Africa's workforce by addressing the challenges faced by CEOs, managers, and HR administrators in African businesses. In response to the soaring demand for digital skills, projected to exceed 200 million jobs in sub-Saharan Africa alone, Talstack is determined to equip companies with comprehensive resources, courses, materials, and expert insights from renowned professionals and entrepreneurs.

 

In a significant stride towards realizing its vision, Talstack recently secured an impressive $850,000 in pre-seed funding from an array of esteemed investors. This noteworthy list of backers includes Ventures Platform, TLcom, Voltron Capital, Golden Palm Investments, and a syndicate comprising seasoned operators and angel investors.

The brainchild of co-founders Seni Sulyman and Kayode Oyewole, Talstack is driven by the belief that Africa's immense potential can be unlocked by empowering its firms to compete on a global scale through substantial investments in talent growth and development.

Currently, Talstack's primary focus lies in constructing a robust course catalog encompassing highly sought-after cross-functional and domain skills and competencies. To refine its offerings, the platform is conducting a paid closed pilot program, collaborating with a select group of high-growth firms. This initiative allows Talstack to fine-tune its services while showcasing Africa's genuine demand for its invaluable resources. As Africa boasts the world's youngest population, Talstack recognizes the urgent need to tap into this vast talent pool and demonstrate the platform's efficacy in meeting its professional needs. With its all-encompassing approach, Talstack stands poised to bridge the skills gap and empower African businesses to thrive in the digital age.
