Samsung Partnership: Startups Get Chance to End up on Millions of Phones
July 18th, 2013
As a startup accelerator, we want to attract the best talent there is. Simple as that.
By joining us, startups get investment, access to a built-in team of pro’s with uber skillz from coding to biz dev, a network of investors to call on for follow-on funding and marketing muscle.
Most recently we’ve increased our proposition value even further via a partnership with Samsung, enabling our startups the opportunity to scale at lightening speed.
What does the partnership mean? In short, your product/app could end up on 10 million + phones across Africa.
More in depth: we’re partnering up with mobile phone giant Samsung to offer companies the chance to have their apps placed on the Built for Africa app store in addition to being preloaded on Samsung smartphones deployed throughout the continent.
For startups, it’s an extremely rare opportunity to be able to reach millions of your target users in such a short period of time. The fact that it is Samsung who will market your product alongside theirs, adds credibility, and is a huge break for new startups.
We’re extremely excited about this and we’re not the only ones. African media coverage has been insane, having already been covered by over 20 news sites.
