“Chamasoft will pitch live on stage during the Evernote Conference, EC4, in San Francisco, and we are expecting to welcome them to California. We also look forward to work closely with all teams and support them as we promote African startups in the Evernote App Center to a worldwide audience,” added Traganos.

Evernote representatives together with the African Technology Foundation visited Nairobi, Lagos and Cape Town in July this year, where they held a series of Platform Awards events. Start-up firms from across the region were then invited to give the judging panel their application.

Chamasoft enables groups, referred to in Swahili as ‘Chamas’, monitor investment and collection of funds as well as track group income and expenditure. Chama members are also able to use the cloud-based software to view group accounts on a dashboard such as how much they contributed throughout their chama lifetime, their group statements and all other financials related to the group and members.
