Johan raised $1 million from eVentures Africa and the fruits are already being ripped and he’s seeking to raise another round to expand to Europe and USA before competition sets in. UmuntuMedia already has a wordpress plug-in that bloggers can embed Mimiboard onto their sites .The revenue generated is shared between UmuntuMedia and the blogger and to him that is another chance bloggers  in Africa can add something on top of their revenue streams.
