About Mezzanine

Mezzanine delivers trusted B2B2C digital solutions for private and public enterprises across Agriculture, Healthcare, Utilities and Financial Services. Our solutions are built and delivered in our proprietary Helium technology framework and deployed at scale across Sub-Saharan Africa, primarily in Vodacom and M-Pesa footprint markets.

What makes this work meaningful is where it lands: in the hands of more than 6 million primary producers, 5,500 clinics processing patient data, municipalities recovering utility revenue, and millions of citizens accessing government services. When we say we deliver at scale, we mean it — 39 million vaccination events managed, over 100 million laboratory test results processed, and more than USD 2b farmer payments processed across the continent.

We are a subsidiary of Vodacom, but we operate on an OEM and network-agnostic model. We bring the right solution to every market and segment we enter, regardless of carrier.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
