PressOne Africa Raises $600k In Pre-Seed Round

PressOne Africa, a Nigerian startup with a unique product that allows entrepreneurs to monitor all business calls on the go, announced the closing of her $600,000 pre-seed round. The round was led by Ventures Platform, along with participation from Voltron Capital.

Founded by Mayowa Okegbenle and Opeyemi Shokunbi, PressOne delivers world-class reporting and call monitoring to enable entrepreneurs get the maximum value from every customer call. With the PressOne app, business owners can monitor all customer phone conversations made by staff or team members from anywhere, just like big companies do.

With the close of the $600,000 Pre seed, PressOne Africa Chief Commercial Officer- Unoma Adeyemi, says, “We have only just scratched the surface. We want business owners to run their business more efficiently with peace of mind. When entrepreneurs know that their customers are well taken care of, and they can monitor business call conversations from anywhere, they are able to do more. Our goal is to see entrepreneurs grow their businesses through better customer communication without losing their peace”.

According to Mayowa Okegbenle, Chief Executive Officer, PressOne Africa, there has been a lot of innovation around messaging, but the primary channel for building new customer relationships, and closing transactions is still over phone calls. Customer centric businesses thrive more because they listen. In practical terms, this will be useful to entrepreneurs whose businesses typically receive many customer calls.

To lay more emphasis, Opeyemi Shokunbi, the CTO of PressOne says, “We built our platform to democratise the complex technology of owning a business phone number that allows entrepreneurs manage all customer interactions on a single platform,

share one business number with team members, receive multiple calls at the same time and with the same number from multiple devices anywhere”.

PressOne launched its beta in June 2022, with hundreds of entrepreneurs participating in the beta program to improve the solution. Visit www.pressone.africa to get started, with subscriptions starting from ₦1,499 per month
