Mobiz, a South African SMS marketing engagement platform, has raised $1-million from SA venture capital (VC) firm Kalon Venture Partners, as part of a $2-million pre-Series A round.
Mobiz was founded by Greg Chen (pictured above) and Clark Lin in 2014.
The Cape Town based startup’s platform — which is currently used by large companies such as Home Choice, the Lewis Group, Multichoice and Momentum — allows clients to send customers personalised SMS’s, in much the same way as users are able to send marketing emails via MailChimp.
In an emailed newsletter earlier this month Ian Lessem, the CEO of Cape Town based VC HAVAIC, said his VC’s investment committee had approved an investment in the startup.
