Durham tech company on target to hit £150k seed funding
A North East technology company has announced that it is on track to hit its seed funding target of £150k.
Fame Media Tech, based in County Durham, is aiming to raise £150k by the end of February, and the firm is optimistic of exceeding that goal.
The funding will be used to create a mobile technology platform - called n-gage.io – a highly customisable Software as a Service (SaaS) platform.
Bryan Hoare, founder and CEO, commented: “We’re part of the ‘Audience of the Future’ revolution, where storytelling and innovation in digital media and mobile technology come together to captivate and engage audiences.
“Customers, visitors, fans and guests’ expectations are changing; we expect more standout moments where immersive technology and content combine to enhance our experiences. We’re developing the technology to transform the visitor, fan and customer experience leading to more loyal and engaged customers for our clients.
“Through our technology we’ll be improving the experience, deepening engagement and building customer loyalty and ultimately revenues for the operator.
“We have proved the concept and have had constructive discussions with operators across sport, hospitality and visitor attractions.
“We’re already providing content to global businesses such as Vodacom, Uber and MTN, to create more engaging experiences. We now need to secure investor funding to scale up to the next level.”
