INVESTMENT OVERVIEW
A Z U Z A I N V E S T ME N T O V E R V I E W
What counts in life is not the
mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we
have made to the lives of
others that will determine
the significance of the
life we lead.

A Z U Z A I N V E S T ME N T O V E R V I E W

THE PROBLEM FOR BUSINESSES
Access to Capital:
04
Often using
unproven
innovations,
technology, or
business models
Primarily early
stage businesses &
projects with
no track record
Usually, perceived
to be high risk
investments by
most traditional
investors
No alternative
mechanisms to
raising capital
apart from debt,
venture and
private equity
A Z U Z A I NV E S T ME NT O V E R V I E W
THE PROBLEM FOR INVESTORS
Access to Investment Opportunities:
05
There are multiple
intermediaries
within the
investment value
chain
There are large
barriers to entry for
investors looking
for investment
opportunities
Access to
investments are
costly, complex
and require
considerable
financial outlay
Most investments
opportunities are
non-existent & out
of reach to the
lower LSM market
Brokers and fund managers prefer to manage fewer large
investments. For them the time, effort and overhead cost inherent in
managing micro and small investments simply isn’t feasible.

OUR SOLUTION
DIY Wealth Creation
MINIMISING RISK
Our business is set up to support
consumers in their investment
decisions through due diligence
and partnerships.
EMPOWERING
CONSUMERS &
FINANCIAL INCLUSION
AZUZA replaces traditional
sources of capital, with ordinary
people who have the option to
invest small amounts of money
into projects they are passionate
about - providing inclusion to
people who typically cannot
afford to invest within the current
financial system.
UNLOCKING
NEW CAPITAL
Our technology has the ability to
manage millions of micro
investment accounts with high
levels of efficiency and absolute
transparency. We are able to
accept investments as small as
one US dollar unlocking access to
a source of capital that has
previously been discarded as too
costly to manage.
OTC MARKETPLACE
AZUZA offers an over the counter
trade market place for investor
liquidity. Eliminating
intermediaries enables cost
savings passed back to clients
and investors.

THE SECRET SAUCE
EMPOWERING
SMALL BUSINESSES
TO SECURE FUNDING
CREATING JOBS
AND STIMULATING
THE ECONOMY
POSITIVELY
IMPACTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
PROVIDING
ACCESSIBLE
INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITIES
Our blend of technology, regulatory understanding, relationships, and
business processes gives us the ability to unlock capital and manage
micro investments effectively.
By creating a new business model based on tokenisation and digital
assets, we are able to promote financial inclusion globally.

OUR SWEET SPOT
Many investable businesses burn through their runway before
reaching a growth stage that will attract Venture Capital
funding. Azuza fills this gap, providing broad-based private
investor funding to impact and sustainable businesses on the
brink of exponential growth.
This sweet spot enables the business to scale while delivering
great investor returns, all while building towards a highly
profitable exit to venture capital investors.

A Z U Z A I NV E S T ME NT O V E R V I E W THE PROBLEM FOR INVESTORS Access to Investment Opportunities: 05 There are multiple intermediaries within the investment value chain There are large barriers to entry for investors looking for investment opportunities Access to investments are costly, complex and require considerable financial outlay Most investments opportunities are non-existent & out of reach to the lower LSM market Brokers and fund managers prefer to manage fewer large investments. For them the time, effort and overhead cost inherent in managing micro and small investments simply isn’t feasible.
  • 7.
