Five cool Tanzania tech startup with their success stories…..


Founder Bongo5.com

I saw these two guys when they were launching their companies. It started as a small thing but wright now they are doing well. What I like is the idea behind their startup, instead of providing the same old services web designing, selling domains and ICT consultancy they have decided to be even more creative to come with their own new version of services which fit with the requirement of the Tanzania communities. It’s like they have gone through all the services the Tanzania tech companies provided and they have come up with their own new types of tech services.

Personally I recommend Zoom Tanzania as the best online directory of Tanzania. Zoom is among the few companies which survive totally on online marketing and advertisement. Back then it was called everythingdar.com. Zoom Tanzania as revolutionized the way Tanzania apply for the jobs online. Thousands of Tanzania now looks for job online daily via job portals. Attractive look of the site, the interactivity and the cool database which works in the most efficiency way is among the secret to the success of the Zoom Tanzania, the Tanzania leading online directory.

The blog has survived all these year with more than 17 million hits and 15,000 followers on Facebook. It is among the most successful online entertainment portal based in Tanzania. The founder Mr. Luca Neghesti is among the Tanzania tech enthusiasts and techpreneur with different startups companies and among the founders of the KiNU innovation and co-creation hub. 

The site itself defines the meaning of “neat and cool” is another amazing Tanzania mobile startup. It is about Mobile marketing. They are into SMS advertisement, bulk messaging and custom SMS application development. Bongo live have realized the power of advertisement through SMS and utilize the opportunity effectively. The average featured phone which is highly used by Tanzanian they all possess SMS platforms.
