  • Your details stay with us. We never sell them, to anyone.

Join the waitlist

Founding members get in before the doors open to everyone else. It takes under a minute and it costs nothing.

For the community invite and launch news.
It tells us what to build first. It changes nothing about your place in the queue.

We email you twice: once to confirm, once on launch day. You can leave the list from any email. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

What a founding place gets you

The list is not a mailing list. It is the first group through the door, and the group we build the first year around.

01

Early access

Invites go out in the order people joined, so the list gets in before the app opens to everyone.

02

First to hear

The launch date and the store links reach the list before they go anywhere else.

03

A say in what we build

Founding members are the first group we ask, and we ship in that order.

04

The community

An invite to the WhatsApp community, where the market chat starts before launch day.

Frequently asked questions

Everything people ask us before they join. If yours is not here, write to us and we will answer it and then add it.

About TruVest

What is TruVest?

TruVest is a social investing app built for Africa and the diaspora. Live prices from African and global markets, a portfolio that keeps itself up to date, and a community of investors who show what they hold and explain why.

Who is TruVest for?

Anyone who wants to invest well and would rather not do it alone. Beginners get plain language and people to learn from. Experienced investors finally get somewhere to talk that is not a group chat full of tips.

Is TruVest a broker?

No. TruVest is an information and community platform, not a broker or a dealer. We never hold your money and we never place trades for you. You keep buying through the broker you already use, and you can connect that account so your portfolio stays current.

Who is behind TruVest?

TruVest is built by Truvest Tech Inc., based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, for African markets and the people who follow them. You can reach the team any time through our contact page.

The app

What can I do in the app?

Follow African and global markets in one place, keep a portfolio, read what other investors are saying about a stock before you buy it, and work through short lessons written for people who are still learning the vocabulary.

Which markets does TruVest cover?

African exchanges including Lagos, Johannesburg and Nairobi, alongside United States listings, so a portfolio that spans continents reads as one portfolio rather than three apps.

Do I have to show how much money I have?

Never. Positions are open and amounts stay private. Other people can see that you hold a stock and what you think of it. Nobody sees the size of your holding or the value of your portfolio.

Will there be an app for iPhone and Android?

Yes, both. The waitlist gets told the moment each store goes live, and you do not need to pick a side now.

What does TruVest cost?

Joining is free and the core app is free to use. There is an optional paid subscription for people who want more, with a free trial and billing handled by the App Store or Google Play. The details are in our subscription policy.

The waitlist

Why should I join the waitlist?

Because the doors open in waves, and the list goes first. Founding members get in early, hear the launch date before anyone else, and get asked what to build next.

Is joining free?

Yes. No card, no payment, no commitment. One email to confirm and one on launch day.

How do I join?

Fill in the form at the top of this page. First name, last name and email are all we need. The number and the rest are optional.

What happens after I submit the form?

You get a confirmation email straight away and your place in the queue. After that we leave you alone until there is something real to tell you.

I did not get a confirmation email. What should I do?

Check your spam and promotions folders first, since that is where most of them end up. If it is not there after an hour, write to [email protected] and we will confirm your place by hand.

Is there a limit on how many people can join?

The list itself stays open to everyone. Invites go out in waves in the order people joined, so what matters is where you are in the queue rather than how many places there are.

Does joining guarantee me access at launch?

It guarantees you a place in the queue, not a place in the first wave. Invites go out in order, founding places first, so the earlier you join the sooner you are in.

Can I leave the waitlist?

Any time. Every email we send carries an unsubscribe link, or you can ask us at [email protected] and we will remove your details.

Launch and availability

When does TruVest launch?

We are testing with a small group now and opening up in waves after that. We would rather give you a date we can keep than one that slips, so the list hears it first and hears it once.

Can I use TruVest outside Africa?

Yes. TruVest was built for African markets and for the people following them from anywhere, so the diaspora is not an afterthought here. Wherever you are, you see the same markets and the same community.

How do I keep up before launch?

Join the WhatsApp community when you sign up, follow us on social, and read the TruVest blog, where we publish guides on everything from dividends to reading an annual report.

Trust, privacy and security

What do you do with my details?

We use them to tell you about the launch and nothing else. We do not sell your data and we do not pass it to advertisers. Our Privacy Policy sets out exactly what we keep and for how long.

Why do you ask for my phone number?

Only so we can send you the WhatsApp community invite and launch news. It is optional, we never pass it to anyone else, and leaving it blank changes nothing about your place on the list.

Does TruVest give investment advice?

No. Everything on TruVest is information, education and opinion from other investors, and none of it is a recommendation to buy or sell. Read our investment disclosures before you act on anything you see here.

Is the community moderated?

Yes. Pump and dump posts, fake tips and abuse are removed, and accounts that keep at it are banned. Our community guidelines explain the standard we hold people to.

Business and partnerships

I run a business or a community. Can we work together?

Yes. We work with communities, campuses and brands that want to bring their people onto TruVest early. Write to [email protected] with what you have in mind.

Do you work with creators and analysts?

We do. If you write or talk about African or global markets and you want a home for that audience, tell us who you are and where you publish, and we will get you in early.

Can I invest in TruVest?

For anything to do with funding or partnerships, write to [email protected] and it will reach the founders directly.
