Wabona launches

At the end of 2012 a dream of mine was realized as we launched Wabona, a video streaming service. It was our answer to the challenge faced by storytellers who needed a solution that allowed them to tell their stories. It was also a place where Africans from all over the world could watch their stories and feel represented. We launched with the second largest library of African content online in the world. We were also the first company to digitize and offer SABC TV shows online. Below is a video from our very early days detailing our vision for the business and how we would go about solving the issues we had faced as story tellers and fans of African content.

What I learnt:

-Product management of websites

-Streaming business models

-Pitching and fund raising

-Negotiating terms
