Nigeria's anyworkx Grows to 30,000 Users in 42 Countries

Imagine juggling five different apps just to get through your day: one to find a electrician, another for lunch delivery, a third for groceries, and more for medications and household items. That scattered digital experience is exactly what Nigerian startup anyworkx set out to fix.

Founded in 2022 by X-agon Digital Solutions, anyworkx started simply. The platform connected people with verified service providers across 300 categories, from blue-collar to white-collar work. But co-founder Ademola Adeyinka noticed something important: people's needs didn't fit neatly into boxes.

"Consumers often use one platform to find a service provider, another to order food, another to buy groceries, and yet another to access medications," Adeyinka explained. Meanwhile, local merchants and professionals struggled to find customers online.

So anyworkx evolved. Today, the platform lets users book trusted professionals, order meals, buy groceries, access pharmacy services, and shop from local markets with flexible delivery options. Everything happens in one seamless experience.

The growth happened organically, without big marketing budgets. The self-funded startup now serves over 30,000 users and works with more than 500 service categories and retail outlets. Despite being based in Nigeria, the platform already operates in 42 countries.

The founders believed in their vision enough to invest over $500,000 of their own money. They also worked full-time for years without taking salaries, pouring everything into building the platform.

The Ripple Effect

The impact extends beyond convenience. Small merchants and service providers who once struggled with digital visibility now have a trusted platform to reach customers. Local markets can compete with larger retailers. Professionals find steady work. The entire ecosystem lifts together.

For users across Africa and beyond, daily tasks that once required multiple apps, phone calls, and frustration now flow smoothly through one platform. That saved time and mental energy adds up across thousands of people each day.

anyworkx makes money through transaction fees, subscription services, and advertising. Now the team plans to raise Series A funding to accelerate their Africa expansion phase.

Their long-term vision reaches even further: building one of Africa's defining digital infrastructure platforms that integrates multiple aspects of daily life into seamless experiences that just work.
