Kenyan content creation and aggregation agency, AFRICA24 MEDIA (A24Media) has dedicated a Ksh 101 million (US$1 million) fund for disruptive and innovative media technology developers.

The firm says it will run a unique idea developer contest to  find the most creative, powerful and useful ideas on media, advertising and education that integrate content into their business model.

A24Media will first seek venture capital investment partners that will manage the investment fund and provide strategic advice on business models and market strategies.

“We are excited to support the disruptive developers in the media technology industry because we realise that no single company can provide the breath and scope of innovation that’s required to develop revenue generating platforms and take this industry to the next level,” said Asif Sheikh, founder of A24Media.

The company hopes that the Investment Fund will spark an explosion of creativity and innovation in the media technology industry.
