We are not building ten things at once. GigShip is live, active, and is the single focus of everything Cosbyte does right now. When it succeeds, the next platform follows. That is the strategy — sequential, deliberate, and already in motion.
A hybrid gig work platform built for how African markets actually function. GigShip connects people with both remote digital tasks and nearby physical gigs — on a single platform. Built for mobile-first users, designed around local payment systems, and engineered to work on 2G/3G networks.
The three problems Western platforms never solved for Africa — inconsistent work access, trust between strangers, and local payments — are the three things GigShip was built to fix.
Built for 2G/3G networks and entry-level smartphones. Works in real African conditions, not ideal lab ones.
Mobile money (MTN, Telecel, AirtelTigo) and bank transfers — the methods people actually use.
Both online freelancing and nearby physical gigs on one unified platform. Workers are not boxed into a single category.
Identity verification, escrow payments, and user ratings — because trust between strangers is the hardest problem in gig markets.
A lightweight version of GigShip for on-demand, location-based gigs. Find and accept instant gigs near you — stripped of complexity, built for speed. Designed for markets where every second of latency costs real money.
Building for African markets means designing for low bandwidth, mobile money, low-cost devices, and users who need income — not convenience. Those constraints do not limit the product. They define it. A product that works here will work anywhere.
