Johannesburg, South Africa — September 10, 2023 — Sourcefin, a leading fintech company specialising in empowering South African SMMEs through streamlined purchase order funding and invoice discounting, is delighted to announce that its CEO, Joshua Kadish, has been awarded the coveted South African Forty under 40 award in the Banking and Finance category. This esteemed recognition was bestowed upon Joshua during a star-studded event hosted by the Houghton Hotel in Johannesburg on Sunday, September 9, 2023.
The Forty under 40 awards ceremony celebrates and acknowledges the nation’s most influential and accomplished young business leaders under the age of forty, spanning various industries. The awards spotlight individuals who have exhibited unwavering commitment to business growth, professional excellence, community service, and have demonstrated remarkable achievements at a relatively young age.

Under his visionary leadership, Sourcefin has emerged as a pioneer in providing simple, smart, and seamless funding solutions, filling a critical gap in the market for small and medium-sized enterprises.
During his acceptance speech, Joshua humorously remarked on the unique circumstances surrounding his award, referring to an unexpected mention by the Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa, Paul Mashatile, in his keynote address. Mashatile had highlighted Sourcefin as a reliable resource for SMMEs seeking funding support, emphasising the vital role Sourcefin plays in South Africa’s economic growth and the alleviation of challenges such as loadshedding and youth unemployment.
“Sourcefin is growing rapidly, enabling SMMEs through much-needed funding,” Joshua continued. “I believe Sourcefin will soon become a household name.”
The Forty under 40 award’s purpose is to celebrate emerging leaders under the age of 40 who have made a significant impact on the world, both personally and professionally, through their exceptional leadership. It also aims to recognise projects and individual achievements that set young achievers apart from their peers by delivering clear and compelling value, return on investment, and other noteworthy results.
To be eligible for this prestigious accolade, candidates must be South African citizens actively living and conducting business within the country. Nominees are required to be entrepreneurs or hold positions as Chief Executive Officers, Co-Founders, Senior Management, Shareholders, or CEOs of a company.
