About Aruwo
About Aruwo — Africa and the Caribbean-first. Founder-built.
Aruwo is the AI-powered Startup Operating System for African and Caribbean founders.
Entity
- What we are
- Aruwo is the AI-powered Startup Operating System for African and Caribbean founders.
- Mission
- Help 1,000,000 African and Caribbean founders build, launch, and scale startups by 2030 — by removing the technical, payment, and distribution friction that holds them back.
- Who we serve
- First-time founders, second-time operators, agencies, accelerators, and enterprise teams building products for African and Caribbean markets.
- Problem
- Building a startup in Africa and the Caribbean is harder than it should be: fragmented payment rails, scarce region-specific developer talent, expensive global tooling priced in dollars, and infrastructure that assumes high-bandwidth Western users.
- How we solve it
- Aruwo combines AI app generation with a hosted backend (auth, forms, and data storage), Stripe card payments, regional domain registration (.ng, .co.ke, .co.za, .gh, and 40+ more), and edge hosting close to African and Caribbean users.
- Where we are
- Distributed team across Lagos, Nairobi, Cape Town, and Accra. Serving founders in all 54 African and Caribbean countries.
- Stack
- TanStack Start, Supabase, AI Gateway routing Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Edge-deployed on Cloudflare Workers.
- Founded
- 2024.
