It'll be built by people who know this continent — its creators, its currencies, its mobile-first reality. That's why we're building it here.
Africa has the youngest population on earth and the fastest-growing base of creators anywhere. Yet six in ten of those creators earn under GH₵1,000 a month. The audience was never missing. The infrastructure was.
ClipAd exists to close that gap. We connect African video creators with global and regional brands, use AI to turn long-form content into their best clips, and handle everything in between — matching, placements, measurement, and payouts in local currency.
We started in Accra because the problem is clearest here, and the talent is undeniable. But the ambition is continental: a single marketplace where a creator in Kumasi and a brand in Nairobi can do business as easily as anyone in New York or London — and on fairer terms.
If creators don't keep the majority and stay in control, we've built the wrong thing. Their autonomy is non-negotiable.
Transparent tracking, vetted creators, escrowed funds. Both sides should never have to wonder if the deal is real.
Local currencies, local payment rails, local context. Global infrastructure that actually fits how Africa transacts.
After watching talented creators earn nothing from millions of views, the founding team sketched a fairer model on a whiteboard in Accra.
A closed beta in Ghana matched the first creators with regional brands, paying out in cedis via Mobile Money.
Automated clip detection shipped, brands began booking placements with creators, and the marketplace launched publicly in Ghana — with more markets expanding soon.
More markets, more payment rails, and deeper brand tools — building toward Africa's default creator marketplace.
