Set up as a startup accelerator, the Nailab has helped develop many ideas into viable business ventures. Over the past 12 months they’ve been host to a number of groups including MPrep recently featured in an interview on this blog. On Friday 10th of this month, the startups were graduating from the Nailab space and were getting ready to face their market. The startups moving out of the space include:
ViveVisuals
The company uses motion graphics to create visual campaigns and informercials. The brainchild of former Strathmore students, the company was created in 2011 and already has clients that include Hiil (Hague Institute for the Internationalization of Law) and Dettol.
MPrep
They are among the companies that walked into the Nailab with a ready made product. With the time they’ve spent in the space, they’ve been able to incease the number of students using the service to 5000. Their service uses text to help students revise their school work and the data is collected to help teachers identify the points where their students need attention. MPrep has won funding in contests that include Pivot East to a tune of $70,000.
