The dashboard became a key source of information to get a better understanding of the pandemic effect on small businesses in South Africa. It also provided real-time insights into how local businesses were faring during the lockdown.<\/p>\n

Last week, Yoco announced what is considered as one of the largest investments for a South African tech startup. This once has proven to be a major endorsement for this local fintech company and another reason why it is worthy one of the best workplaces for innovators.<\/p>\n
