Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team building a niche job marketplace; selling to African freelancers and remote-first companies hiring from Africa

How to build it
1. Start with one high-demand skill (e.g., Python backend dev) and one job board scraping + API (LinkedIn, Upwork, or local job feeds). Build a simple skill-extraction model using Claude API or open-source embeddings to tag job postings. 2. Build a profile intake form (15 min to complete) that captures coding skills, portfolio links, years of experience, timezone. Store as embeddings in Pinecone or Supabase vector DB. 3. Create a daily match feed: compare user embeddings to job embeddings, rank by relevance, email or notify top 5 matches. Use SendGrid for email, Resend for marketing. 4. Gate the full feature set behind a freemium tier: 3 matches/week free, unlimited at ₦5–10k/month ($3–6 USD). Add Paystack and Stripe for payment. 5. Launch to 100 African developers on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Slack communities. Iterate on match quality weekly using feedback.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian builders have zero-latency access to Africa's fastest-growing remote talent pool and can build trust directly in local communities (Twitter, Discord, Slack). You can undercut global job boards on fees (charge users ~3–5 USD/month vs $30+ for Indeed Premium), move faster on product iteration because your users are in your timezone, and integrate Paystack natively—global platforms' payment
