Siriusen
Siruisen is an app that has ability to connect people together like so many other apps, the unique attribute is it’s main focus to connect entrepreneurs together.
Sirius is an app that will be able to connect entrepreneurs together, unlike apps like LinkedIn which is mainly used for connecting employees, and Facebook for connecting friends and families with respect to businesses, Siriusen as the name describes is the brightest star in the night, which will bring a new light to Nigeria’s business world by making sure even entrepreneurs have easy access to their fellow entrepreneurs and tend to look for ways in which different sectors can benefit each-other without having to go through the rigorous deep search from other countries when the help can even be few miles away with maximum benefits and better understanding of the locality.
The app would basically need a developer to create an interface that would allow for an hierarchy of entrepreneurs in Nigeria and where they’re mainly established and hence connect with small entrepreneurs in the geometry to even build the geometry better.
The main problem I’m trying to solve is the idea that very few startups end up thriving just because of the connection they have, when there are thousands of great startup ideas that ends up dead due to lack of connection and ways to push their products in Nigeria, just the same way LinkedIn has connected many employees together to make work etiquette and job procurement better, with even better ways of working and delivering excellence, an app that can bridge the gaps between entrepreneurs.
The product is aimed at mainly entrepreneurs and business owners, also people with business ideas in order to know their potential partners and similar entrepreneurs close by, making growth even faster within a community.
I have been able to do a lot of researches and questionnaires about how an app that focuses solely on entrepreneurs would benefit Nigeria and the world as a whole, which has been positive because so many entrepreneurs claim to need a platform that can boost their productivity without having to go through the rigorous steps of manually doing the marketing and distribution, although their are platforms that might be near giving this solution, yet no platform has been able to put into consideration the needs of entrepreneurs which this app will be providing hence making more entrepreneurs confident enough to start their businesses and making the world see it
- Improving financial and economic opportunities for all (Economic Prosperity)
- Concept: An idea being explored for its feasibility to build a product, service, or business model based on that idea
the stage of development was selected because this app will be the birth of creativities by bringing together millions of ideas into a particular platform which has never happened with reference to entrepreneurs be it business magnate or SME’s , and having conducted so many researches using questionnaires and two way dialogue, I’ve been encourage by local entrepreneurs to create this platform for them to triumph and harvest better opportunities worldwide irrespective of where they’re from.
- A new use of an existing technology (e.g. application to a new problem or in a new location)
my project is generated from a new idea and it’s a software application that will make use of the internet to operate , although there are plans to make sure that it contains some features that will allow it to be used offline in order to make the entrepreneurs have accessible to the app even without a steady internet connection. Also this technology will basically make use of so many data entries and this will allow it to be optimized to function based on real life needs of entrepreneurs, generated from different geometry across Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
- Big Data
- GIS and Geospatial Technology
- Internet of Things
- Software and Mobile Applications
- Nigeria
the app even without it being birthed has started serving people and making people around me feel empowered to bring their idea into reality, with the hope that an app like Siriusen will help to make their idea a long term project that will serve a lot of people in the vast end. The project is set to help millions of entrepreneurs in Nigeria within the first year and build a platform to help sustain their business irrespective of their financial circumstances. And with this said, this app could be called mother entrepreneur because it will give birth to lots of entrepreneurs.
The impact goal I wish to create is the ability for more successful entrepreneurs to surface over the next year by giving everyone the opportunity to breath their ideas into reality and serve humanity, hence increasing the standard of living of people in the geometry abs hence reducing the cost of services where there is a balanced market for services.
The next impact I hope is to help great small medium entrepreneurs gain the recognition they need. hence, having easy accessibility to help a out their startups and even grants and investments from bigger tycoons in their field of business
I have been able to research about the necessities needed to bring the idea to the general public which has been productive, also I have conducted some questionnaires with entrepreneurs , which has been positive because they all need a platform that is focused mainly on providing helps for entrepreneurs and business owners, rather than doing all the work, a app that can make people easily identify the best entrepreneur in their locality with the help of gps to connect with the nearest entrepreneur and even in terms of finding mentors close by and investors either close or far to build their ideas up.
the only barrier is the lack of enough funds to build the app and idea into the magnificent game charger for entrepreneurs , and with this funding, and the right set of people working to make this idea a reality, I’m sure the barrier will be broken and the app will benefit a lot with its features
I have a team of software engineers, marketers , writers and quality control unit that will work to bring this idea into light within few months of starting.
I’m currently not partnering with any organization just yet. But hope to do that in the nearest future
