Partner with us

Grow with us as we build Zimbabwe’s business network

Aventus works with a select group of investors and partners who share our view that Zimbabwe’s businesses deserve better ways to be found, trusted and chosen. If that sounds like you, we’d welcome a conversation.

Why ZimListings, why now

Most Zimbabwean businesses are still found by word of mouth. ZimListings turns that into a digital network, connecting people who need a product or service with verified businesses that can provide it.

  • Built for how Zimbabwe connectsAvailable on the web, the Android app and WhatsApp, so it reaches customers wherever they already are.
  • One engine, many marketsOur matching engine is designed to extend across sectors, from agriculture and property to accommodation, vehicles and events.
  • A platform others can build onZimListings is designed as an engine that specialised apps and partner services can connect to.
  • Trust at the coreBusiness verification and alignment with industry regulators are part of the product, not an afterthought.
