I'm pretty uninformed about the African startup scene, what are some of the more interesting ones that have had some success?

- munyukim 14y agoMxit, Mpesa, Usahidi, Thawte- sold to VeriSign
- artsim 14y agoMpesa and Ushahidi can hardly be classified as startups
- sadlyNess 14y agoWhy the downvotes? Mpesa was made for a VodafoneUk subsidiary. It's not network ubiquitous(& hasnt scaled as succesfully in other vodafone subsidiaries) but makes a lot of profit for its network. Ushahidi is OS & not-for-profit & has shown "growth". ps: I use Mpesa regularly and I've tried Ushahidi, they both 'fill a need' but differ on scaling & revenue.
