Our take
The decline of print media, which is only predicted to continue, has left newspapers and magazines in real trouble. Cafeyn offers these businesses a way out, through its app that enables users to access hundreds of newspapers and magazines from one place.
Users pay a monthly subscription fee, and in return receive access to a huge range of content. At the same time, newspapers and magazines access a much broader market than before, which could rescue them from a slump in revenue.
E-reading platforms have exploded in recent years, and Cafeyn faces some fierce competition. That said, the company's strategy is to strengthen partnerships with publishers while expanding its presence internationally, working hard to replicate the success it has already had in existing markets.
