Dude I have done my research before coming out here, so the piggybank.ng guys is now pivoting to another model sharply, dont let tension catch you yet, keep up the hustle eagle eyes is watching.
Its like the guys behind the piggybank they are the AIG in nigeria, maybe NCG is their own name, copy as many format as you can hoping one wins…the diff between ideas to copy to product are like 1 - 100
The challenge is because we can, because there is no how any body will game a group and get away with it, because the idea is organic, not copied, cannot buy it with money, am sure if you guys were able to pull that off you would have started with that instead of piggybank,
We are going to be a bank of credit, not another savings bank model online, I have a savings account I can save for free, I will live that and move to an online bank to save for some charges great idea, you are working hard, keep up the good work,
Friendsvow is strictly financial credit platform, not savings, that is our differenciation.
I find it hard to believe that UNALIGNED mock-ups are a trend. You can float your screenshots, but there is nothing beautiful about unaligned screenshots bruv.
Just check these quora answers for a mock-up tool.
Loool copy!!! … Anyway, https://www.piggybank.ng is doing amazingly well (24% above our expectations). It has been quite challenging with regulations and all, but we are not pivoting. We are winning & killing it
The truth is that we built both of them at the same time ( www.piggybank.ng and www.susu.ng ). We found out that susu.ng is far more complex than piggybank.ng. In fact, the technology for www.susu.ng is complete but we are still working on the business model, that’s why it’s still locked. We already use www.susu.ng at our office in Lagos.
One thing is sure, we are not dashing people N200,000 for defaulting payments with their close friends and families. SOME NIGERIANS WILL SHOCK YOU OHHHH!!! — you will not hear now.
@Yinka Trust me, I wish I could give you … but when we are done with our paperwork (we have to comply with Nigerian financial regulations and all), we’ll definitely start a private beta here on radar, stay tuned.
I don’t know why you’re attacking @somtoifezue. His team has a very good track record. They have actually built a product in a crowded space and still managed to kill it (In a good way I mean). If anything, you should be happy there’s competition, it validates the potential of the idea especially since it’s being promoted by Sharphire.
And for your information, company builders are becoming more popular. Read up on it and don’t be attacking people for having multiple products. Doesn’t look good.
Lovely product and concept, I just signed up man, if you can pull this off and I dont lost money ha na nigeria zukerberg u be oo, but if my money lost I go fin u enter ikoroo
But on a serious note the whole world is fetish for white space, but if u go to irokotv.com, they dont care about white space, people that critisize u will never ever use the product, except their friends start to use it, dont change anything becos of them, people that promise u intro or to help u,they are teasing u, dont depend on anybody here, excerpt God, if I meet someone that wants to invest I will direct them to you, u re the original one.
This is lagos man, all guys telling u about support dont listen, they are probably copying ur concept now as an assignment, for a student, u should have finish this product before u bring it here, no helper for cabal land.
You have a nice product idea but your approach to it might make it quite complex for you to execute.
Your website might not win a design and usablility award but I guess it works for now.
I think the Esusu thing works best among trusted partners/colleagues. Getting random people to commit and stay faithful to their “vows” might be way complex than you imagine.
But hey! You’ll never know if you don’t try. Good luck with it…
I haven’t taken time to go through your paragraphs but you guys seems to have a good project.
You can make the text more explanatory on your website and please, the green background look somehow in my eye (one man’s food is another man’s poison), but then, you can have a generic friendly design.
All in all, it’s a good project. I’ll be glad to test your product. Cheers!
Can you summarize what you do in two lines? P2P lending?
And just to point out from your last paragraph, investors are not looking for how to make life easier for anyone. In actual fact, they don’t care. Come up with numbers and investors will flood in.
