about

Today there is no active, popular launch-and-vote platform for the African tech ecosystem. The existing players are mostly media outlets or startup directories. We want the equivalent of a Product Hunt, designed for African makers and their community.

Diaspora makers can publish — what matters is that the product helps people in Africa. A product can also be eligible if it explicitly serves African users, even when it comes from a non-African company.

To keep this criterion clear, each product declares the countries or markets it targets. There is no review before publication: a product that doesn't follow this rule can be reported, then removed by the team.

Launches are published without prior review, updates included. A launch goes through the statuses draft → scheduled (if its date is in the future) → live → archived. Moderation happens afterwards: anyone can report content, and a heavily reported launch is hidden until the team has reviewed it; the team can then remove it or restore it.

Create an account, create your product page, then publish a launch (new product, update, or major new feature). It enters the ranking on the date you chose.
