headset simply has to pair with a smartphone to work. Unlike its competitors, Cliks does not require internet for use. The earbuds automatically detect what language is being spoken and from there they provide a spoken translation within a sentence or two.
What’s also interesting is that Ghanaian-British entrepreneur Manu built Clik through his business Mymanu strictly through self-financing.
“Like all the other ethnic minority-run businesses within the UK, I had a hard time getting the funding and financial support from banks and government-funded programs that I needed,” he shared in an interview.
Not only did he begin to use his own personal savings, but Manu explored other means of raising capital, which includes his own sales and crowdfunding.
“If you truly believe in your product and ideas, you shouldn’t have too much trouble convincing other people to believe in them too,” he continued.
According to reports, Manu raised £5,000,000 with the help of crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
