"I think there is a future for technopreneurs here, because we have a lot going for us as a country."
Xurpas Inc. started in April 2000 after Nix saw that there is a huge potential for wireless applications in the market. Nix with his friends partnered with different advertising agencies and promotional companies to provide them with a full suite of mobile related services, including conceptualization; interface design, software development. mobile carrier deployment and service management.
"We invested very little in the business .. it's more of an intellectual investment."
Their first client were Globe and Smart. They provided them with mobile applications. But once they understood the market's needs, they came up with new ideas and partnered with other parties that needed their technology.
In September of 2003 they opened a branch in South Africa called Starfish Mobile. They have also launched ventures in Indonesia, Malaysia and the US.
"Our focus is always on how the companies we work with can benefit from mobile technology. I think this attitude has opened a lot of opportunities for us to get more projects. Doing a good job is the best marketing strategy as it ensures your partners will be doing more business with you. It's the relationships you build that count the most."GOLDEN RULE:
"Be willing to share. Even with the local partnerships. We're always willing to share revenues, resources, and information. Because of that, our reputation began to grow and other companies wanted to partner with us."
