Promise to Invest

Commit to a Project

At ZimForward, we operate on a “Promise to Invest” model, where members and investors indicate their commitment to contribute funds, skills, or expertise to a specific project without transferring money through our platform. This approach allows us to coordinate and gauge interest before any financial or operational resources are committed. Once a project reaches its target number of promised investors, we connect the committed individuals directly with the Project Delivery Team, who manage the project and report progress back to investors. For members offering skills or expertise, interviews or assessments may be conducted to ensure the best fit for the project, creating a high-quality pool of contributors while maintaining transparency, accountability, and effective resource allocation.

Frequently Asked Questions

F.A.Q

Clarifications

Members can participate by investing in ventures via our SPVs, contributing to community projects through Community Benefit Trusts, or supporting businesses operating from our Shared Service Hubs.

Any Zimbabwean, local or in the diaspora, who wants to invest, collaborate, or contribute skills can join. Membership gives access to investment opportunities, training, and shared resources.

ZimForward coordinates investment opportunities but does not single handedly manage the projects. Once a project’s investment goals are met, it is handed over to the Project Delivery Team setup by all the investors involvement, which is directly accessible to investors and reports progress back to them. Members who invest can actively monitor their projects, while other contributors can provide skills, nominate representatives, or participate in oversight, ensuring full transparency and accountability throughout the project lifecycle.

Skills for Shares Program (S4S)

The ZimForward Skills for Shares Program allows skilled members to contribute their labour, technical expertise, or professional services to our projects and shared hubs in exchange for project shares and a small operational stipend. For every hour worked, members earn Skills Contribution Units, which convert into ownership in the specific SPV or project they help build. This ensures that those who contribute their hands, knowledge, and time become long-term beneficiaries of the value they create — not just employees, but partners in the growth of ZimForward’s projects.
