About Vendoh

Empowering Vendors. Elevating an Industry.

Vendoh is building Africa's first voice-powered service marketplace, connecting clients with trusted, verified vendors through the power of voice, technology, and trust.

The Problem

A Broken System Hiding in Plain Sight

Nigeria's service economy employs over 80% of the workforce and generates roughly 60% of GDP. Yet almost all of it operates informally with no verified reviews, no guaranteed pricing, no booking systems. Finding a trusted plumber, makeup artist, or caterer still means a WhatsApp scavenger hunt, second-hand referrals, and blind hope.

Meanwhile, over 41 million small businesses and talented vendors across the country have no structured way to reach the customers who need them. Their skills are real. Their visibility isn't.

The Solution

Just Say What You Need

Vendoh replaces the chaos with a single voice command. Speak naturally in English or Pidgin, and we connect you with the closest verified vendors, instantly.

For Clients

Search by voice, browse verified vendors, compare prices, book instantly, and pay securely. All within a single app.

For Vendors

Get discovered by nearby clients, manage bookings, track earnings, build your reputation, and switch between client and vendor mode with one tap.

Our Vision

Empowering Vendors, Elevating an Industry

Vendoh doesn't compete with vendors. We empower them. Our vision is to elevate Nigeria's service sector from its informal roots into a trusted, professional industry where small businesses and entrepreneurs can grow and scale to global standards.

Formalise the Informal

Give every service provider the digital tools, verified profiles, and structured booking systems that turn informal hustle into professional businesses.

Grow Without Gatekeeping

Fair pricing, transparent commissions, and business analytics that help vendors scale on their own terms, not ours.

Build Trust at Scale

Our three-tier verification system and escrow payments create the trust layer the entire sector has been missing.

Create a Dual-Role Economy

In Nigeria, the teacher does makeup on weekends. The banker caters events. One tap switches between client and vendor, because Nigerians don't fit in one box.

Voice That Truly Understands

Built for How Nigerians Communicate

78% of Nigerians send voice messages daily. Vendoh is built around that reality. Our voice AI understands Nigerian English, Pidgin, and the way people naturally describe what they need. “I need someone to fix my AC in Lekki” returns verified results in seconds.

“I need a plumber near Ikeja”3 verified results in 2 seconds
What We Believe

Our Values

Voice Is How We're Built

We're not a search engine with a microphone button. Voice-first discovery is how we're built, designed around the way Nigerians actually communicate.

Vendors Are Partners, Not Commodities

Their dignity, income, and success are core to our mission. We build tools that help vendors grow. When vendors thrive, everyone wins.

Speed Over Perfection

We ship fast, learn fast, and fix fast. Lagos doesn't wait, and neither do we.

Emerging Markets First, World-Class Always

Built for Lagos street realities with world-class engineering. Not a Western app reskinned for Africa, but a platform engineered for how Africa works.

Every User Is an Entrepreneur

We believe the millions of Nigerians working in the informal service economy aren't a problem to be solved. They're a force to be empowered, formalised, and unleashed.

Trust Is Earned, Never Assumed

Every vendor is verified. Every transaction is protected. We're building the trust infrastructure Nigeria's service sector has always needed.
