    Company Overview

    Jaza is a solar energy start-up working to power Sub-Saharan Africa. We build solar-powered shops which charge batteries customers use to power their homes and businesses. Since 2022, we've achieved over 3 million battery swaps, providing approximately 225,000 people access to clean, affordable energy. We started our operations in Tanzania in 2017 and expanded to Nigeria in 2021.

We currently have ~150 hubs and ~50,000 batteries in our fleet. We have product market fit in multiple markets. We are on the 3rd generation of hardware and are confident in it, but also have a lot of ideas for improvements. We can iterate and improve functionality of the batteries, battery chargers, and hub energy systems using over the air firmware updates. The roadmap includes incremental improvements to existing hardware designs as well as brand new products. We are looking for help to build the world's best battery systems.
