The post read,” We are excited to announce that we just raised $600,000 in pre-seed funding led by Ventures Platform. Our mission remains the same, to enable entrepreneurs get the maximum value from every customer interaction.” PressOne Africa helps businesses of all size retain their customers, through a centralised voice communication platform. The company provides businesses with a phone number that allows keep track of all customer conversations even if employees work remotely.
PressOne Africa’s co-founder, Mayowa Okegbenle said in a statement, “Today, your typical entrepreneur uses their SIM-based number for business, and that’s probably fine if you are alone in the business. However, they also purchase the same SIM-based numbers for their employees to interact with customers. The problem with this is, from that point on, they lose any sort of visibility into that employee’s interaction with customers. Which means losing visibility into a key driver for revenue. With a PressOne phone system, they can purchase business phone numbers for employees, and stay in control of all customer interaction within their business. The best thing here is, before now, this type of solution was accessible only to big companies. Now, we have specifically built this for entrepreneurs, no need to set up anything, and starting at a price point of ₦1,499 per month.”
“We are excited to be backing Mayowa and Opeyemi. We believe that the most compelling technology solutions on the continent will empower small and medium businesses with tools and services that enable them to reduce churn, increase their user base. When we first met Mayowa Okegbenle and Ope Shokunbi, PressOne’s co-founders, we were immediately struck by their technical expertise and their singular mission to enable businesses to listen to their customers” Kola Aina, Founding Partner of Ventures Platform said in a statement.
