According to Metro, a group of American investors made the $6.72 million offer for weneed1.com to Mohammed Ali just before Christmas  “We met the investors in London, they were a global data driven company, and they didn’t realise I created all the technology involved. The main reason we rejected the offer was because, if the technology and concept is worth millions already, just think how much it will be worth once people use it,” said Ali.

The youngster has big dreams for weneed1.com. “I understand this is a big risk for me but I want to create this as a household name, and at the same time make something for myself,” He says,

“The big thing about what we’re doing is that there are no competitors – this is a real time money saving expert – it’s like a Bloomberg for the general public,” He adds. According to Mohammed Ali, weneed1.com runs on an algorithm he developed. According to him, the algorithm provides real-time quotes instead of the normal pre-fixed quotes you find on insurance sites.’

Let’s hope weneed1.com does indeed make more than $6.72 million for Mohammed Ali and his partners in the coming days.
