I can only echo what I said on that post, Energise Africa lets you invest in bonds, it used to be just for solar panels but they’ve expanded recently to other things like electric forklifts
You can invest via your ISA too
The platform itself I think is stable and reliable, though the companies themselves do occasionally go under—I think rising interest rates over the past couple of years hit some of these companies hard. When I have time later I’ll go through my portfolio and share the performance of my investments
Swapcard tips:
The mobile browser is more reliable than the app
You can use Firefox/Safari/Chrome etc. on your phone, go to swapcard.com and use that instead of downloading the Swapcard app from your app store. As far as I know, the only thing the app has that the mobile site does not, is the QR code that you need when signing in when you first get to the venue and pick up your badge
Only what you put in the ‘Biography’ section in the ‘About Me’ section of your profile is searchable when searching in Swapcard
The other fields, like ‘How can I help others’ and ‘How can others help me’ appear when you view someone’s profile, but will not be used when searching using Swapcard search. This is another reason to use the Swapcard Attendee Google sheet that is linked-to in Swapcard to search
You can use a (local!) LLM to find people to connect with
People might not want their data uploaded to a commercial large language model, but if you can run an open-source LLM locally, you can upload the Attendee Google sheet and use it to help you find useful contacts
