Our Journey

Building Africa's Creative Economy

Founded in 2022 by a group of Kigali-based tech entrepreneurs, Kakofi emerged from a simple realization: African creators needed better tools to monetize their work and engage with audiences.

Our platform has evolved through collaboration with over 1,000 Rwandan creators, from traditional dancers in Butare to digital artists in Gisenyi. We've processed over $500,000 in tips and digital sales, helping creators build sustainable careers.

Kakofi was born from a simple observation: African creators were missing out on digital opportunities due to fragmented tools and complex payment systems. We set out to create a platform that not only solves these technical challenges but also provides educational resources and community support.

By connecting creators with global audiences while maintaining local relevance, we're building a sustainable creative economy where talent can thrive without needing to leave their communities.
