2012 1 Comment Written by momo

It is the time of the month again that we meet to discuss one of the technology trends in the world. This month is not different. The February event will be focusing on Location Based Services and how it affects our lives and businesses.

Location-based services (LBSes) have been blossoming — both in functionality and in number of users — over the past several years. And Nigeria has had its share of this. Also, there has been many un-answered questions in the mind of people.

We have teams from Vconnect, Mocality and TimbaObjects on ground and they will be shedding more light on the following:

  1. What is “Location Based Services”?
  2. What are the uses of LBS?
  3. LBS and your daily life & Business
  4. LBS offerings in Nigeria
  5. etc
You definitely don’t want to miss this. To register for the event, click here.

2012 Leave a Comment Written by momo

Have you always wanted to start a technology business and don’t know how to go about this, then you don’t want to miss the January 2012 MoMo event. The knowledge required to start and run a technology business is not written in any training school syllabus nor most textbooks. It is more of a culture and language that we have evolved with over the years.

January 2012 MoMo meet-up is therefore setup to help you learn the basics of what you need to do on this journey. We will have business owners on ground to share their experiences on starting a technology business in Nigeria. They will also be available to answer all questions that you may have.

This is a follow-up to the last event and will be an interactive session where you can network, learn and ask questions on everything you want to know. Our panelists will try to answer as many questions as possible.

Pitch Monday Round-up

Aug01
2011 Leave a Comment Written by momo

Whenever I have opportunity of speaking with Startup founders, the first thing on the agenda is always the issue of  funding. Many people believe that the main reason why we don’t see many thriving businesses in Nigeria is lack of funding. While this may be true, there are many other reasons. One other reason I have noticed among Nigeria Startups is lack of enough information about their industry. Most people assume that things will take shape as long as they have access to the funding they need. But things are becoming clearer now. READ MORE »
