StarNews Mobile - Company Profile

StarNews Mobile is a United States-based startup founded in 2017, with a primary goal of unlocking the potential of Africa’s creator economy. The company aims to achieve this by enabling content creators to monetize their fanbase in Africa, which is considered the world’s most promising continent. StarNews has established itself as a key player in Africa’s mobile video market, providing exclusive content to over 4 million users. It has strategically partnered with MTN and Orange, two of the largest telecommunications operators in Africa, to distribute this exclusive video content directly to mobile users, allowing them to benefit from micro billing on their mobile wallets for a better experience.

One of the most notable milestones for StarNews Mobile is its recent $3.00M Seed Round investment secured on 31 October 2023. The investment came from a group of prominent investors including Janngo Capital, Aurelien Djani Tchouaméni, Mike Maignan, and Jules Olivier Koundé. The company proudly positions itself as Africa’s first media company aiming to provide financial freedom to African content creators. With a focus on industries such as Content Creators, Creator Economy, Entertainment, Mobile, and Media, StarNews Mobile is at the forefront of shaping the digital content landscape in Africa.
