Discovery
One front door for thousands of vendors
A unified storefront where every Maven vendor is browsable, indexable and shoppable — no separate logins, no scattered checkouts.
The thesis
Africa's digital craft is some of the most-traded, least-credited work on the internet. Maven gives it a home, a price floor, and a path to scale.
The platform
Four primitives. One marketplace.
Fulfillment
Digital delivery, end to end
Licensing, delivery, license-key issuance and refunds — handled by Maven so vendors stay focused on the work.
Settlement
Naira-in, multi-currency-out
Vendors price in their currency; buyers pay in theirs. We settle the difference, on a predictable cadence.
Trust
Curation, not crowdsourcing
Every vendor is reviewed, every catalogue is fingerprinted, and every listing carries a verifiable license trail.

For Vendors
If you make it, we'll move it.
Maven onboards vetted digital makers — designers, illustrators, sound artists, template authors, course producers — and gives them a single distribution surface across borders.
Free to list. We earn when you earn.
Settlement in NGN, USD, GBP, EUR — your choice.
VAT, license keys and refunds handled.
A press team for vendors who break out.
For Investors & Press
An asset class hiding in plain sight.
African digital craft is a $4.1B latent export market with no platform-of-record. Maven is building that platform — and the data layer to make it investable.
Series A close: Q3 2026.
Run-rate GMV target: ₦3.2B by Q4.
Net take rate: 9% — sustainable from day one.
Backed by founder operators from Paystack and Flutterwave.

The next chapter of African commerce is being written by makers.
We're building Maven Market with the vendors, investors and press shaping that chapter. If that's you — get in touch.
