AlphaCode (South Africa)

AlphaCode is a club for financial services entrepreneurs, which is supported by a physical workspace and virtual platform. We are seeking to create a next-generation financial services eco-system by bringing together entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, industry experts and thought leaders to connect, share knowledge, and ultimately reshape the financial services industry. We are powered by Rand Merchant Investment Holdings (RMI) and Rand Merchant Bank Holdings (RMBH); strategic managers of a multi-billion dollar financial services portfolio which includes FirstRand, Discovery, OUTsurance, MMI Holdings and Hastings plc. RMI has recognised that the core business of its underlying portfolio companies is being threatened by new, disruptive ventures and made a decision to proactively seek new, disruptive business models to invest in. As a result, AlphaCode was established to identify, partner and grow next-generation financial services entrepreneurs building sustainable scalable businesses in the financial services industry.
