You will be visited, invited in meetings, forums and workshops organized by SEED to learn from each other and also for SEED Match maker to learn about your businesses, capacities and integrity. As well, you will be linked to other service providers (for specialized business or technical expertise).

This will be evaluated and when approved for match-making, it will be sent to interested investors. BiD Network operates with a growing number of private equity investors based in Europe and other continents, who are interested in investing in developing countries, including Tanzania. Business plans and entrepreneurs who are assessed as ready for investment are matched with investors who have expressed readiness to invest in such kind of businesses. These investors consult with a Tanzanian targeted entrepreneur and if they come into agreement, an investor puts in equity or a combination of equity and a loan.
