In the vibrant heart of Kigali, within Norrsken House—the continent's largest startup hub—our journey officially kicked-off, at 11pm on a Sunday night. This story began from genuine conversations with over 300 companies and founders over the last 2 months- including RwejoTek, ZipLine, VazquezTours, ALX Africa, and Rwanda's Ministry of ICT- to discover the local challenges that Entrepreneurs face everyday.
Built in Africa, to solve Africa's most important issues.
It's evident that Africa is rich in talent; This situation highlighted a significant opportunity: to deliver effective yet budget-friendly hosting solutions tailored to the African market. By addressing the distinct challenges encountered by African Entrepreneurs, we developed a range of services specifically designed to help them connect with wider audiences. For instance, we discovered that 40% of founders and developers, including Norrsken's very own Jesus Santima who once quoted "No web hosting company in Africa can't be trusted. And the few that you can, perform terribly." - he expressed frustration over slow website speeds, poor customer service, and expensive pricing, which led us to prioritize optimized hosting solutions that meet all the local needs of African entrepreneurs.
