About Makoko
Africa has hundreds of millions of businesses running on spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages, and manual processes. Makoko is building the intelligent infrastructure layer that replaces all of it.
Our Mission
We believe that every business from a butchery in Nairobi to a food supplier in Lagos deserves access to the same quality of operational intelligence that powers Fortune 500 companies. Makoko is making that possible through AI.
Our Vision
In 10 years, every significant business operation in Africa will run through an intelligent system. We are building that system, one that understands the nuances of African commerce and gets smarter with every business it serves.
Our Philosophy
We don't ship features for the sake of shipping. Every decision is grounded in whether it makes a real business more efficient, more profitable, or more intelligent. We move deliberately, build deeply, and create systems that businesses can rely on without thinking about them.
Values
Every feature we build removes friction from real business operations. We obsess over the workflows of the businesses we serve, not just the product metrics.
AI is not a feature — it's the foundation. Every module is designed to learn, automate, and adapt to the unique patterns of each business.
We build for the realities of African commerce: diverse currencies, WhatsApp-centric communication, informal supply chains, and mobile-first operations.
Every AI action is logged, auditable, and reversible. Businesses using Makoko always know exactly what the system is doing and why.
We hold our systems to enterprise standards. Reliability, security, and performance are non-negotiable — not afterthoughts.
We're not building a transactional SaaS tool. We're building the operating layer that grows with African businesses for decades.
