I don’t have the actual numbers for how many startups get started everyday, but if the amount of daily email pitches I get is any indication, it’s quite a lot. Then there’s events, announcements and a lot of other random stuff that you might wanna know. The TC radar is my latest space age invention to help us all keep up with that proliferation of activity.
How it works. Got a new startup? Or you’re already out there but nobody really knows it yet? Did you hit a new milestone? Or perhaps you just tacked on a new killer feature to your product? Are you in beta and would like to get feedback from our savvy community? Hosting an event? Or just have something to share with us. Do get in touch. Who knows, there might be an interesting enough angle to it that we might just have to zoom in on that blip.
On my radar this week…
Insidify – a peerless job meta-search engine with deep social media integration. Whatever that means, it’s probably part of the reason why the site describes itself as Africa’s first social jobs site. I visited the site a couple of times, and surely, their interesting Adsense banner ads have been following me all the days that I browse. Clearly going hard on the marketing and user acquisition.
Adugbo – Yet another local discovery app/website.
Greenbook – online portal for entrepreneurs and business owners to promote their startup. In short, a business directory. Move over, Vconnect? We’ll see.
SquareCountry – A service that curates discounts on locally shoppable items. I found this one when they found and followed me on Twitter, but it doesn’t look like their show’s on the road yet. So all I can say for now is “nice site”.
Audax has been very busy. These past three weeks, they’ve been teaching 26 children to code at their codeschool — HTML and CSS, as well as game development and mobile apps with Scratch and App Inventor. A graduation event for the latest whiz kids has been fixed for Saturday, the 17th. If you’d like to know more, Aniedi would be more than happy to oblige.
