Entourage

• Western Cape, South Africa

• Founder

  • Sep 2018 - May 2022

  With humanity being faced by the current social dilemma, inspiration was birthed to create change by incepting social media with a form of virtual unity and so forth came the ENTOURAGE. Myself and two developers set off to create a social media platform build for unity, uniting people on a virtual level in-order to connect them in the real world. The platform written on a block chain backbone eliminates the billions spent yearly by other platforms to eradicate fake news and post by using geo tag location based posting, a role interface so unique I had numerous patents filed. I fell in love with UI/UX design during this time and developed the entire front end myself along with a high fidelity prototype. I also raised over 1million in seed capital for further development of the MPV. Finally a big milestone was reached, creating great interest with big fintech investors exactly 2 months prior to covid. To be continued,,, Show less
