Creating Economic Opportunity for Anyone

Hello Everyone,

I’m Selassie Amenorhu, a budding tech entrepreneur from Ghana. My team is working on a logistics solution in the country of Ghana, with plans to expand to other African countries and eventually Europe.

Our mission is simple and twofold:

1. To create a different experience in the logistic industry for both consumers and drivers/truckers

2. To promote sustainable economic opportunities for anyone aspiring to start a career in the logistic industry.

There is currently a need in Africa for a structured and reliable logistic service to deliver goods, whether commercial or personal. Similarly, delivery service providers are not able to connect with potential clients and face high fuel and maintenance costs, which makes it difficult to sustain their businesses.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Affordable Delivery offers a solution to the current pain points in the logistic industry in Africa by providing a platform to connect drivers with individuals and businesses that need delivery services. But more importantly, the platform will lower costs for drivers through planning and process automation on the drivers’ behalf. These tools will allow drivers to build and grow sustainable businesses and offer better services to their customers.

WHY ARE WE RAISING THIS MONEY

The first mockup of the project was pitched in the Microsoft for Startup Program. The team was instructed to complete development and collect revenue through a pilot in Alpha Stage and then return back to the program. We have been working with a development team that is building the website and apps (Android and IOS).

Currently, we have about 95% of the apps and website design complete and we plan to move soon into development to launch the Alpha version of the product. We need the support of the community to enable us to achieve the mission, purpose and goal of creating sustainable economic opportunities for everyone in the logistic space while creating a better experience for consumers.

GOAL #1: $1,500

Our goal of raising $1,500 would be used to support the completion of the Android App and the website, which would be tested with a minimum of 20 viable audiences. This will allow us to move forward with our pitch to the Microsoft for Startup Program for larger support, which would amplify our impact in promoting economic opportunity for everyone in the logistic space in Africa.

GOAL # 2: $3,000

Our goal of raising $3,000 would be used to support the completion of the Android App, IOS App and the website, which would be tested with a minimum of 20 viable audiences. This will allow us to move forward with our pitch to the Microsoft for Startup Program for larger support, which would amplify our impact in promoting economic opportunity for everyone in the logistic space in Africa.
