Mobisoko- Africa’s mobile app marketplace

Founded by Juliana Rotich:

Mobisoko is an mobile applications marketplace for Africa. It is a way to find language and location relevant mobile apps. It is the place to download, sell and buy localized mobile apps. Mobisoko rewards local talent and provides opportunities for local programmers to showcase their work...the aim is to assist students and mobile programmers in Africa to distribute and showcase their mobile applications to the public. Many applications that are written for mobiles (particularly by students at universities) are not distributed because of the lack of resources such as hosting or expertise in marketing. Such applications end up being shelved and not being visible to people who could benefit from using them in their daily life. Secondly MobiSoko seeks to reward these innovators by providing them with sustainable incomes and careers. Developers can submit their applications to be hosted and made available for download and purchase-website
