Gjirafa is an Internet services juggernaut in Balkans. As an Albanian language search engine, a content platform, and e-commerce company, Gjirafa dominates or leads a variety of Internet consumer services in South East Europe. Launched for the first time in February 2013 and failed a week later. Re-launched on October 8th 2014, and since Gjirafa has been growing exponentially.
Our vision is to build and facilitate the Internet Economy in the Balkans, by focusing on core Internet services that lack in the region, for a market of around 12 million people. As such we are focused on the following space: online marketing (gjirafa.com and gjirafa AdNetwork), online retail and marketplace (gjirafa50.com, gjirafa50.al, and gjirafamall.com), online video content and TV (gjirafavideo.com), offline to online services (gjirafa.biz, gjirafa bus schedule, and gjirafa classified), online payment processing (gjirafaWallet, currently in development), and Albanian AI (voice and text, coming soon).
So far, until the end of 2017, Gjirafa has over 3 million unique active monthly users, spanning from Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, and from the Albanian speaking diaspora from Germany, Switzerland, United States, Italy, Turkey, Greece, and from another 50+ countries globally. As a pioneer in many products for the region, Gjirafa has seen revenue growth between 500% - 1,200% year to year for the past 3.5 years. At the core is the Gjirafa team - a group of entrepreneurs, with unmatched passion, hard work, and persistence that push their own boundaries on daily basis. Together with our partners, investors, our clients and users, we experience the impact on daily basis in literally digitalizing the region and create things that at first seem impossible, while building technology that is world standard.
" Gjirafa, Inc., is the fastest-growing company in the region, and the growth is impressive at 314 percent CAGR"
"It has prospered by filling niches deemed too small to bother with by the world's internet giants."
"You’d be forgiven for thinking that Google has search all sewn up, but that’s not necessarily the case in Albanian-speaking countries"
"The end goal is to successfully launch these new ideas/products and to grow employment, investment, and revenue in the region’s internet economy."
"Most striking was their complete commitment to their homeland"
"This investment is more than just a bet on the explosive growth potential of the Balkans’ internet economy"
"Gjirafa is working to build the Internet Economy and bring state of the art e-commerce solutions to emerging markets"
"Based on our web mining data, the Albanian web is still in the early stages of development, but it has doubled in the past year and it is continuing its growth rapidly."
