Digital Philly

Consumers are looking for a place to discover quality Black-owned businesses across the globe. Black-owned businesses need access to customers, resources, and networks that will help them scale intelligently. Black entrepreneurs are looking for ways to strengthen their online presence and reach as many customers as possible, as well as increase their site traffic and revenue.

We provide a central resource that connects Black business owners and service providers with consumers / partners that are looking for them. We create an online presence that drives traffic and revenue for Black-owned businesses. We also help businesses strengthen their digital presence and attract new customers with high purchase intent. In addition to that, we act as an extension of a businesses marketing team in order to raise overall awareness.

Our market consists of a broad online audience that consumes our content and looks to us as a source for intelligent buying decisions. Our market also consists of business owners who want to be a part of the ecosystem that we have built. We help them reach both consumers and other businesses.

We are solving the lack of diverse ownership and representation in our industry. Our industry is worth $678B, and yet we see less than 8% of minority representation in the games space and less than 24% female representation in animations. These percentages get smaller when we break down minority categories.

We create digital products that solve problems, invoke change, and inspire creativity while driving deeper engagement and generating unrealized revenues through games and animations with a diverse and inclusive team representative of the consumers.

Our customers, partners, and clients all engage with us currently through email, word-of-mouth, or social media. Due to the niche social impact focus we have, we are targeting businesses who are trying to better engage with their audience appropriately and consumers who feel they are not properly or actively represented.

In the past year, we built the first iteration of Black and Mobile's custom mobile application to be capable of competing with the likes of UberEats, Grubhub, DoorDash, Postmates, and other larger food delivery services. This is the first Black-owned food delivery service exclusively delivering for Black-owned restaurants. In the same year, we also launched a mobile game for a large influencer family known as The ACE Family, which grew to be the #1 free game in the U.S, Canada, and DR for more than 2 weeks, while maintaining the top 10 games in the family category for the first few months of launch. We reached over 5,000,000+ users across all of our projects and impact-driven work combined. We've done all of this without having raised any capital, with very little funds, and spending only $3,000 on marketing.

Tribaja is a double-sided marketplace that solves for the opportunity gap in technology by providing diverse talent access to careers at mission-driven startups. Over 30% of all startups fail because they don’t have the team that aligns with their mission.

We solve for this problem by creating a space where startups can find diverse tech talent that have an average of 5 years of work experience but are looking for their first opportunity in tech.

Tribaja is made up of underrepresented folks in tech, a majority of whom are career changers from Black & Latinx communities. They have acquired their tech skills from boot camps or are self-taught. They reside in or near urban centers such as Philadelphia and Atlanta.

We are currently at 2,500 members and looking to hit 10,000 by the end of 2021. Our early revenue was $103K, which was obtained from our MVP and early clients. We hope to expand outside of Philadelphia so that we can scale.
