Myself – Epaphrodite Bizimana.
What inspired you to found it?
My profession is as a software engineer residing in U.S, and I see how I create sophisticated systems here in U.S. I decided to help African businesses and organizations by creating a sophisticated system that they can use for free. More exciting features are on their way, and we are always continuing to find ways to make it more useful to its users.
How does it work?
So simple, just create a profile and see how simple it’s. Bizilist was created using Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 3 Framework on the front end. It also employs WCF Services.

Biggest Achievement so far?
Getting it off the ground is a big achievement. As a person who was born in Rwanda, grew up in Kenya and now living and working in U.S, I have always wanted to use my skills and expertise to provide something that can help businesses and organizations of where I trace my roots.
