This social media network caters towards a community of black thinkers. While some social media platforms aim for a wide variety of users, the Koffee app goes the other direction to target the niche of black millennials.
Currently in beta mode, the free network aims to "cultivate knowledge from a community of black thinkers" around the world. This allows users to seek answers and insights on topics such as business, education, finance and technology as well as more specific subjects like agriculture, local news and black-owned businesses. By offering a digital space for safe discussion, Koffee helps users network internationally and maybe meet in real life. In addition to engaging with like-minded people, community members can also leverage word of mouth marketing for products and services.
