Hey guys,
I'm new to radar and I hope to get good response from you fine folks
So few months ago, I made a research on technology niches that aren’t covered well by popular technology blogs. I realized that there are lots of sub niches not yet covered by these top blogs. One of such is the start-up niche. You would hardly see an african blog that is solely focused on helping startup founders maximize their ideas and provide information on what they need to know before setting up their startup companies.It's one thing to have an idea and another to you know, pursue your startup idea that can either make or break you.
Most tech blogs focus on the 'hot' companies that are making waves with the services they provide, their reason being that, these ‘hot’ companies drive page views and revenues to their blog and so they are not interested in small companies looking for exposure and attention.
I'm not just saying this out of blank space, trust me I've had numerous ideas that are still called 'ideas' because I feel like there are information I need to equip myself with before embarking on such journeys.
Information on how to write a detailed pitch and business plan, to how to raise funds and manage finance are key factors a startupreneur needs to put into play for a good startup success story.Hence, the idea to create a blog for an average ‘startupreneur’, looking for information on how to grow a start-up idea. These are my area focus:
1. To focus on Africa start-ups, especially early stage start-ups and fresh ideas on how they can get all the information and resources they need to become a successful start-up founder.
2. To serve as an ‘information bank’ to Africa start-up founders.
3. To focus on smaller African companies that are making incredible products, yet they don’t make it to the market or last too long because of lack of attention.
4. To focus on Africa start-ups that serves business owners and not just consumers.
5. To give a stage to small innovative start-ups which do not have billions in funding, as a result, not getting covered by big tech blogs.
6. Also, to give rooms for start-up companies that have failed and also show the reason why, while at the same time, providing a profile of the entrepreneur and lessons learned.To achieve these goals, I need contributors that would contribute on 'specific' areas on what an average startupreneur needs to know before actualizing a great idea. This blog is going to be a community of a sort, that would serve as a 'pool of information' for startup founders.
An example is StartupGrind, a global startup community designed to educate, inspire, and connect entrepreneurs.
I have my domain name ready but yet to start the design.... I'm a website designer so I have that figured out.
If you are interested or you know someone who can be of help, please give me a call on the below respective channels.
