The problem

Shopping in Kenya is broken

From Nairobi to Kisumu, Mombasa to Eldoret — the infrastructure for discovery doesn't exist. Shoppers overpay or give up. Vendors with great stock stay invisible. Nobody wins.

The shopper struggle

  • Call around asking "unauza?"
  • Travel only to find empty shelves
  • Can't compare prices across sellers
  • Settle for the wrong product

The vendor struggle

  • Invisible despite great inventory
  • WhatsApp status as marketing
  • No affordable way to reach buyers
  • Lose sales to bigger platforms

The missing layer

  • No unified product discovery
  • Second-hand market unstructured
  • Price opacity across sellers
  • Local demand can't find local supply

“Finder Africa is the missing discovery layer — connecting what people want to buy with what local vendors across Kenya actually have.”

How it works

Simple for shoppers.
Powerful for vendors.

Five steps from intent to purchase — powered by AI the whole way through.

01

Vendors list products

Shops across Kenya list or sync inventory on Finder — new and second-hand, all in one place.

02

Shoppers search naturally

Type what you need in plain language, or upload a photo. No shop name required.

03

Finder aggregates results

The platform pulls matching listings across all vendors in real time.

04

AI ranks best matches

Intelligent ranking by location, price, relevance and availability.

05

Customer chooses & connects

Shopper picks the best option and connects directly with the vendor.

Visual Search

Photo → Product match
