NIKELA – MORE THAN A MARKETPLACE
Nikela is a new kind of marketplace – one that blends commerce with community, connection, and culture. Whether you're selling an item, searching for something you need, or looking to support or trade with your network, Nikela makes it fast, safe, and personal.
WHAT YOU CAN DO ON NIKELA
• SELL ANYTHING – From clothes, electronics, services, to handmade goods
• REQUEST OR ASK – Looking for a job, a roommate, help, or an item? Just ask.
• CREATE A SHOP – Build your digital storefront in minutes and grow your hustle
• FOLLOW PEOPLE – Stay updated with your friends, buyers, sellers, or local heroes
• BUILD A COMMUNITY – Start a chama, a club, or a movement — and run it your way
• TRUSTED PROFILES – Interact with verified users to boost trust and visibility
• SAFE INTERACTIONS – Nikela gives you control over who sees your posts and products
• CHAT DIRECTLY – Ask questions, negotiate, or follow up — all in-app
WHY NIKELA IS DIFFERENT
• It’s social. Selling is no longer a lonely journey. Connect, follow, and grow.
• It’s human. Every post tells a story — who’s behind it, what they want, and why it matters.
• It’s African. Made with local needs, culture, and hustle in mind.
USE CASES: REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES
• Brenda starts a thrift store and grows her customer base through followers
• Otieno posts a request for a bicycle — a neighbour donates one
• A group of photographers form a community, sell presets, and book gigs
• A mama mboga opens a shop on Nikela and reaches customers nearby
• Friends create a chama group to contribute, lend, and grow together
HOW IT WORKS
1. Sign up quickly using your phone or Google account
2. Post or ask – Sell something, request a job, offer a service
3. Get discovered – Gain followers or search for people, shops, and items
4. Message directly to close deals or coordinate
5. Grow your rep by building a trusted and visible profile
MADE FOR KENYA. BUILT FOR AFRICA.
Nikela reflects the spirit of harambee — bringing people together to uplift each other. Whether it’s giving, selling, asking, or connecting, Nikela is a platform where trust, community, and hustle thrive.
