Our Ambition
While the opportunity is global, Makeba is first targeting Africa where the demand is high and our team is experienced. In 5 years we hope to be operational in all African countries as well as countries with sizable African diasporas, primarily western-Europe and the US. Our objective (which cannot be guaranteed) is to secure 9 million subscribers and $1 billion in revenue by 2025 .
