NimoArt and Enreads Receive Grant From Kopertis 3

The maturity and visibility of a business idea becomes one of the benchmarks for the success of the business. This is also one of the conditions for the acceptance of the proposal of two teams made by UMN students, NimoArt and Enreads by Kopertis 3. They managed to enter the top 50 teams that received a student entrepreneur program (PWM) 2015 business capital grant.

Both teams, intensively funded by UMN’s business incubator, Skystar Ventures, said they were both happy and proud to receive the grant. Although they have to make a fairly time-consuming preparation since last April but they are quite satisfied with this achievement.

With the grant, of course this is enough to help enreads funding in the early stages”  Sherlein and Irine Natalia, two co-founders of NimoArt.

After getting this grant, both will focus on marketing strategies. Irine (Informatics Engineering 2011) said that some of the funds will be focused on promotion. “As much as 60% of the funds will be used for marketing purposes. Thus, we hope nimoart gaungnya will be more heard out, “he explained.

In line with Irine, Jefferly also revealed that the grant will be used to market Enreads to get users and users. “While we’re dancing more Enreads users, we’ll be developing our website and features on the Enreads website.”
