— Context

African talent shouldn't pay 30% to Europe.

Continental freelancers were routing work through international platforms and losing a third in fees and FX. The talent was here. The infrastructure was not.

— Approach

Local rails. Global polish.

  • Multi-currency payouts with local payment rails first.
  • Bilingual catalogue with regional categorization.
  • Escrow built-in (the same engine that powers escrow.bj).
  • Reputation system tuned for small networks, not gig farms.
— Outcome

A platform that knows its market.
