Although technology is rapidly expanding, one of the significant problems facing African youths is poverty due to a lack of jobs, even though they possess skills. Around 460 million people in Africa live below the extreme poverty line of $1.90 per day.

Talentpoel aims to solve this issue by providing the best non-technical talent in Africa to tech companies in the US and Europe. By matching these talents, we can close the financial crisis gap that most African youths face and provide a cost-effective way for companies outside Africa to scale.
