Why Wano
Our Story
Wano is the first short-form video app designed specifically for Africa — a continent of over 1.4 billion people, 60% of whom are under 25. The platform taps into hyper-local creativity, allowing users to post, remix, and share short videos in their native language, tribal identity, and regional culture.
For investors, Wano represents a category-defining opportunity at the intersection of social media, cultural tech, and mobile-first entertainment. With rising smartphone penetration, high youth engagement, and limited regional competition, Wano is poised to scale quickly. Our creator-first model, monetization tools, and dynamic analytics position us as both culturally authentic and commercially scalable.
For sponsors and advertisers, Wano offers unmatched localization. Ads can be targeted by country, language, tribe, interest, or city — allowing brands to build trust and relevance in ways global platforms can’t. Sponsorship packages include branded content, pre-roll ads, regional banner placements, and community challenges. Whether you’re a telecom in Nairobi or a global brand seeking to engage Gen Z in Africa, Wano offers a direct line to your audience.
This is more than a platform — it’s a movement of identity, connection, and innovation.
Our Team
Built Worldwide
Wano is powered by a global team of world-class engineers, designers, and creatives — united by a mission to connect Africa to itself and the world. With team members in the U.S., Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, and beyond, we’re building a truly Pan-African social network that delivers real value to both users and brands.
Our engineering talent comes from top institutions and fast-scaling startups, blending technical excellence with deep cultural insight. This fusion allows Wano to deliver an app that’s not only fast and beautiful — but deeply meaningful. We’re creating more than a product. We’re building a platform where marketers get real return on attention, and users experience real connection.
