Powering the $42 Billion Collective
How Hlomo's AI co-pilot is quantifying "Collective Capital" for the Businesswomen of Africa Collective (BACC), turning social trust into a bankable asset.
Market Inefficiency
The annual funding gap for African women entrepreneurs. BACC identified this not as a *risk* problem, but a *data poverty* problem.
The Problem: Proving the Value of Trust
BACC is a financial authority built on a "Collective Capital" model. They knew the high-trust, high-velocity economies within their networks were immensely valuable, but this value was invisible to formal lenders.
They faced a critical challenge: **How do you quantify the economic power of a community?** How do you turn the "low-signal" noise of social chat into the "high-signal" data investors require?
The Network Amplifier Engine
Hlomo was deployed as BACC's central "Network Amplifier." Our AI co-pilot integrates directly into their community platforms to provide the data-driven proof for their financial model.
1. Economic Velocity Rate (EVR)
Hlomo's AI identifies and tracks all "intent-to-procure" opportunities, measuring the real-time speed and value of B2B commerce *inside* the network.
2. Social Support Ratio (SSR)
We quantify the community's social cohesion—a key de-risking factor—by tracking non-business requests for help and the rate of successful, community-driven solutions.
The Impact: From Data Poverty to Data Authority
With Hlomo as its engine, BACC is no longer just presenting a theory; it's presenting **verifiable data**.
- ✓ **Unlocks Capital:** Provides institutional investors with the quantified, de-risked data they need to invest.
- ✓ **Proves the Model:** Turns abstract "social trust" into a measurable, bankable asset.
- ✓ **Empowers Members:** Moves entrepreneurs from "unplanned exporting" to strategic, data-informed growth.
