Funding Unlocked — How Sourcefin is Rewriting the Rules for SME Capital | Episode 3: Jedd Harris

This episode is built around one big idea: that the way South Africa funds its SMEs is broken — and fixable. We want our audience to walk away understanding what that fix looks like, why it has taken this long, and what Sourcefin has built to close the gap.About the Guest Jedd Harris is the Chief Strategy Officer for Sourcefin. With Sourcefin having deployed close to R2 billion in funding, Jedd helps shape Sourcefin’s approach to enabling the "forgotten SMME" – small businesses often excluded from traditional lending due to limited and/or poor financial history – and facilitating shared growth. Harris' strategic leadership is shaped by his prior experience at Investec and Kearney, where he honed his expertise in finance and management consulting. He holds cum laude degrees in Economics and Finance from the University of the Witwatersrand.Guest SocialsConnect with Jedd Harris on LinkedIn.
