Our story

African creators deserve infrastructure built for them.

Skilldera is the commerce backbone for African digital creators — built in Buea, Cameroon by people who use MoMo every day, speak both English and French, and have built things on this continent before.

From the founder

AE

I grew up in Cameroon. I've watched brilliant African creators teach makeup, French, programming, business — anything you can imagine — and lose 30% of their income to platforms designed for someone else.

Selar took 3 days to pay them out. Gumroad required a PayPal they didn't have. Teachable was priced in USD they don't earn in. Meanwhile, every Cameroonian I knew lived inside Mobile Money — instant, free, universal — but no platform let them sell on it. So we built Skilldera.

If we build this right, in 5 years a million African creators will run their entire commerce on Skilldera — in XAF, on MoMo, with their students learning forever. That's the only outcome worth shipping for.

The team

Built by people who've been here.

We're based in Buea. We use MoMo. We've shipped products in Africa before.

What we believe

Six promises encoded in the product.

Not marketing copy. These are commitments enforced in our database, our contracts, and our culture.

Built for Africa, first

We don't adapt a Western product. Every line of code, price point, and payment rail assumes our user is in Buea, Yaoundé, Lagos, or Accra — not San Francisco.

Permanent buyer access

When a student buys, that access is theirs forever. Not until the creator's subscription lapses. Forever — encoded in our database, terms, and soul.

XAF in, XAF out

No foreign exchange spread. No USD detour. You earn in XAF, your buyers pay in XAF, your payouts arrive in XAF.

Creators come first

Every feature ships after we've spoken to 10+ creators. We don't guess. We talk, listen, build, ship, measure, repeat.

Speed over polish

We'd rather ship Monday and refine Friday than polish for 6 months. The African creator economy moves fast. We move with it.

No lock-in, ever

Your students, your storefront, your data. Export everything anytime. We earn your business every month — we don't trap it.
