TechInAfrica – The startup Vybe reveals that version 2.0 of their dating app is in progress, and that deeper expansion is coming up into the continent.
Since February, Vybe’s revenue growth has doubled itself with the choice of payment.
“Another example of the uniqueness in Africa was our launch in Kenya and other parts of East Africa. The top global dating apps accessible in this part of the continent offer payments via cards and it’s funny when you consider that mobile money transactions contribute to almost 50% of the Kenyan GDP,” said Adetolani Eko, Vybe’s co-founder and CEO.
“Our reaction there was to make Mpesa the main method of subscription for our East African users and we’ve seen some interesting growth there.”
Vybe CTO Omonzokpia said that they have designed unique processes that leverage AI, Machine learning, and a strong community to identify and block suspicious profiles. “We will continue to improve this system as we grow,” he adds.
The company plans to reach 100,000 users at the end of 2021.
