One of Africa’s major tech news websites HumanIPO yesterday announced it would be shutting down on January 15, the news came as a surprise to many readers of the platform who rely on it for technology news.
A post on the website revealed the decision to shut down the website was as a result of the website’s inability to generate sufficient traffic and revenue.
“We want to thank the thousands of readers that use the site weekly for their support. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to build sufficient amount of traffic to make it an interesting business to continue,” the management said in a statement.
They are also making a call to entrepreneurs and investors who are interested in keeping the platform alive to invest in it.
“If there are investors or entrepreneurs that are interested in taking over the platform then please contact us on team@humanipo.com,” the management said.
