PressOne Africa closes $600,000 pre-seed round

PressOne Africa, a startup that helps business owners monitor all customer phone conversations made by staff or team members, has raised $600,000 in a pre-seed round led by Ventures Platform, along with participation from Voltron Capital and angel investors.

Founded by Mayowa Okegbenle and Opeyemi Shokunbi, PressOne offers entrepreneurs the ability to track conversations, see notes, and follow-up with customers, making it easier to maintain a high quality of service and attract and retain more customers. The cloud-based phone system is designed to be accessible to small and medium businesses.

The startup launched its beta in June 2022, with hundreds of entrepreneurs participating in the programme to improve the solution.
