Launching 2026
One platform uniting B2B commerce, business advisory and recruitment across Africa, the Caribbean and the diaspora.
Trade, get expert advice face to face, and hire talent without ever leaving the ecosystem.

Africa and the Caribbean move enormous commercial energy through informal channels. The cost of that friction is opportunity lost.
Over 90% of African and Caribbean businesses are SMEs, most with no formal digital presence. Cross-border discovery still runs on trade shows and WhatsApp groups.
More than 40 million Africans and millions of Caribbean nationals abroad remit over $100B a year, with no structured route to convert goodwill into business.
Most SMEs cannot afford consulting, and online advice ignores African and Caribbean regulatory, cultural and economic context.
Employers cannot find verified candidates, and cross-border hiring happens over ad hoc video calls with no link to a verified record.
Unverified actors are the single biggest barrier to digital trade, advisory and recruitment across both regions.
No platform combines verified identity, trade infrastructure, contextual advisory and talent matching in one place.
Africa is the world's fastest-growing consumer market: 54 countries, 1.4 billion people and an economy projected to reach $29 trillion by 2050. The Caribbean adds a deeply connected diaspora and a shared trade corridor.
Yet the infrastructure connecting these business communities to each other, to diaspora capital, to advisory support and to skilled talent remains fragmented, informal and costly to navigate. Anansi Connect exists to structure it.
Built under the IBON World BEC Framework and CEPT Model.
In African folklore, Anansi is the keeper of stories, the figure who gathers knowledge and passes it between communities. The name has always stood for intelligence, ingenuity and the quiet art of bringing people together.
Anansi Connect carries those values into technology: a platform built on curiosity, craft and the belief that opportunity travels fastest when knowledge is shared.
Guidance drawn from knowledge, context and lived experience.
Relationships woven between people, places and markets.
Practical answers to complex commercial questions.
Clear dialogue across borders, languages and sectors.
Insight made accessible to everyone who needs it.
Growth that lifts more than one business at a time.
Placeholder screens from the platform in development. The shape of the experience arriving soon.
