Competitors

Competition

We are in direct competition with the telecoms that provide the same service but at higher prices. We are also receiving some indirect competition from apps like Yourome and Roamapp. While they can also allow the user to receive calls for free using their number, they charge for sending calls and don't support SMS. They also are limited for just 20 countries worldwide. VoxEra has all features with the best price

KPI's

  • 1,000 sold devices
  • 10,000 facebook followers
  • 13,000 Traffic to Kickstarter campaign
  • 15 CAC
  • 200 LTV

Startup traction

We currently have a good traction which we plan to accelerate by building good relationships with our retailers upon delivery of the product. We are also building a wider retailers network which we will market once we deliver.

Other information

VoxEra participated in two incubators: the Egypt and Eitesal Business Nurturing Initiative (EBNI) and the American University Venture Lab in Egypt and were awarded the best startup of the year prize by the Egyptian Minister of Telecommunications.
