Amanda started Happii, a startup studio that helps non-technical entrepreneurs create apps and scale them into companies, including product and technology development, marketing, and project management. Amanada acts as a co-founder of these companies as part of the arrangements. Two of these companies are Afridate and Tipoff. Afridate is a dating app that connects black singles. It allows you to search by nationality or ethnicity. Tipoff is a word guessing game customized to African-American vernacular.
Amanda started her career in entertainment PR. But she wasn't fulfilled by it. Later on she started hackathons aimed at the Black community, and also started Tiphub, a tech accelerator in Africa. Amanda went to Florida State University and Georgetown University.
Amanda says that as an African-American, she is a subject matter expert and her work has often veered in that direction and it is intentional. However, she says it makes good business sense overall to focus on minority markets which are underserved right now.
