Problem or Opportunity

Bridging the Gab between the rich and the poor. Serving authentic originally created premium content for the African continent and African's in the diaspora with affordable price points. Africa's fasting growing OTT - Wi-flix streaming and SVOD platform. We're accessible on Googleplay and Appstore around the world with customized solutions for the African Continent i.e Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania et al through MTN, Vodafone and Safaricom and et al

Solution (product or service)

For decades, African content has been undervalued, under-sold and without reach, because there is no specific platform to market, sell and use. Africans themselves and mostly those living in Europe and North America have limited access to their culture through movies, series, and animation.Hence, the need to create a distribution channel and a rewarding system for film producers in Africa to help shape the narrative and tell the African story in our own way and also help producers monetize their craft. We ultimately create jobs in creative, art and culture and Tourism Industry to hugely impac

Competitors

The continued strength of the video streaming market has been confirmed by a study from Strategy Analytics which has found that demand over the year has received a double boost from content providers as well as the pandemic. The African continent is set from growth to reach $1.6bn by 2026. The continent’s collective OTT revenues were only US$392 million at the end of 2020, indicating that there is significant room for growth in the coming years.
