Raise early capital. Prove demand. Keep control.
Rewards crowdfunding gives African businesses early momentum from the people who will actually use what they build — helping you grow without unnecessary early debt.
What a campaign actually gives you
Capital matters, but customers, validation and momentum are what help a business keep growing.
Customers and validation
Backers are early customers. A live campaign tests demand and proves people want what you build before you scale.
Capital for growth
Fund equipment, inventory, technology or expansion without immediately taking on loan repayments.
Jobs and expansion
Successful backing can help you hire, open new product lines and buy from other local businesses.
You keep control
Rewards crowdfunding funds your growth while you keep ownership and direction of your business.
A story people can share
A campaign page gives your business a credible, shareable home with photographs, milestones and updates.
Reviewed, not rubber-stamped
Every campaign is manually reviewed before it goes live, so serious founders are not lost among noise.
Built for African markets
Zambia first, with more African markets added as payment and regulatory support allows.

Simple, stated up front
The pricing model for rewards crowdfunding on the platform.
6%
Platform charge
Made up of 4% commission + 2% service fee. It will apply only to successfully collected backing once real payment collection is introduced.
Payment processing
Payment-processing charges from the licensed payment provider will be separate from the 6% platform charge.
No application fee
There is no upfront listing or campaign application fee in the current model.
Not yet live
Payments are not live, so no funds are collected and no fees are charged today. Pledges are non-binding and free to make.
Ecosystem support
