"n the final year of the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology program, entrepreneurs-in-training are required to form teams for their startups. The three of us, having worked on a previous project in MEST, decided to start a company together. From there we brainstormed on various ideas and settled on one. The idea went through a lot of iterations as we gathered feedback from our colleagues, the faculty and most importantly, potential clients. We pitched this idea to the Meltwater Foundation and got seed funding. Most of our early days were used in validating our ideas, gathering requirements for the solution and building the solution ."

"We are honoured to receive this award and that we have the opportunity to showcase our product at the launch conference ."

"Entrepreneurs in Africa could also take it upon themselves to serve as role models by taking time to talk to young people in school and in other programs so the students can understand what entrepreneurship is and begin to consider it as a career path."

"Find your passion and what you are good at. Learn and read a lot on it and just do it. Sometimes we over-analyze and it paralyses our ideas. Ideas are nothing if they are not implemented. Ideas and visions are always clearer when you start implementing them."

"There is no female brain and male brain, we are all persons not just gender. Career and professions don’t have gender. It’s about your ability, not your gender. So, if there is something you can do, you don’t have to look at who is in there. They are human beings just like you."

"It was a long process. We went through a lot of refinements, so by the time the actual product was out, it was something people wanted. We have been very, very big on getting feedback from our customers since they are the ones going to use it."

"It was a long process. We went through a lot of refinements, so by the time the actual product was out, it was something people wanted. So yeah that has been the trend. We have been very, very big on getting feedback from our customers since they are the ones going to use it."
