A new wave of opportunities is emerging on the internet. Creative people the world over are turning their passions and arts into businesses. Startups are powering online tools and platforms for creators to build their content, grow their audience regardless of location and sell their craft. Here is a list of startups in Africa building for the Creator Economy.

Thank you for all your valuable contributions to building this list!!

This list has startups from: 

• Multiple countries across Africa including Mauritius, Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, and other countries. 

• A range of high-growth startups from the Pre-seed stage to Series D. 

• These startups are helping creative people across different areas. It was interesting to see startups across different spaces deliver real value. For example:

  • Afripods, an Anchor-like tool for podcast recording in Africa,

  • Adshop, is a talent marketplace that helps content professionals get hired.

  • Hustle Sasa, is a social commerce platform that enables you to set up your online storefront and get paid instantly with an integrated tracking and delivery solution.
