ABOUT SIGLO

PROPOSITION VALUE

Siglo facilitates digital and financial inclusion in emerging markets by enabling mobile application users using their protocols to gain value and exchange for increased mobile access and other goods and services. Users collect this value by sharing their attention and, when they choose, select data or opinion, then redeem it with mobile connectivity in the form of top-up airtime with the mobile carrier. The first application that uses the Siglo protocol is called Pig.gi and monetizes consensual data usage and returns this revenue to 1 million registered users in Mexico and Colombia.

USE CASES

The Siglo Protocol will facilitate transactions between users, stakeholders such as brands that want to sponsor this user connectivity, and service providers such as mobile operators. More than 70% of the world's mobile phones are 'paid up front and individuals in emerging markets are struggling to have consistent connectivity, mainly because of their high costs. On the other hand, brands and other stakeholders are willing to sponsor increased connectivity in return for user attention, consumer insights, or even brand surveys. The first application to use the protocol from day one is called Pig.gi, currently operating in Latin America with one million registered users earning prize money and spending it on top-up airtime and other digital or offline products. Most of these users never had a traditional bank account or made mobile financial transactions before Pigs. gi. After extensive testing and protocol development, Siglo will be opened for other applications to be used, with the purchase of small shares of the Siglo token.

MEDIA

TEAM

Currently, there are 14 people remain from 6 countries between Siglo and Pig.gi team. These include technical, commercial and sales development teams, campaign management, content producing editors for Pig.gi, and marketing.

Joel and Isaac Phillips were the brothers and founders of Pig.gi and Siglo. They have visited more than 50 countries, mostly emerging markets with prepaid connectivity. They have spent the last 3 years living and running a company with operations based in Mexico City. It is important to go beyond theory and be on the ground in emerging markets to understand how users live, think, connect, and consume the internet. At the same time, working with service providers, brands, and even mom & pop stores in emerging markets is very different from highly developed ones.
