Nexus Africa's Social, Commerce & Trust Platform

Nexus is an all-in-one social, commerce, and trust platform purpose-built for Africa’s informal economy. It combines a social feed, short-form video, a live map where informal providers appear as pins, a marketplace with native M-PESA checkout, a jobs board, in-chat payments, and the Zamani Trust Protocol — Africa’s first behavioural trust score with five tiers from Bronze to Legend. No existing platform combines all eight layers for informal Africa. WhatsApp has no commerce. Instagram has no payments. Jiji has no social layer. Nexus has all of it in one app. Eight independent revenue streams including live map Connect fees, 3–5% marketplace transaction fees, job post fees, creator tips, Zamani B2B API for banks and SACCOs, and M-PESA float income. Built solo to v34 with zero funding. Raising $250,000 to onboard 10,000 Nairobi providers.
— with 8 revenue streams, targeting 100,000 users and KSh 60M/month revenue in Year 1. Seeking $250,000 pre-seed.
