Our Mission

Re-imagining trust in local handymen.

askvenda is Nigeria's first bot-native service directory built specifically to bridge the trust gap between customers and local service providers.

The Trust Deficit

Finding a reliable plumber, tailor, electrician, or auto mechanic in Nigeria shouldn't feel like a gamble. Traditionally, customers rely on loose recommendations or random road-side workshops, which often leads to sub-optimal service, variable pricing, or worst of all, security issues.

At askvenda, we believe the solution is pre-verified identity transparency. Rather than introducing complex escrow rules or holding vendor funds, we focus on hard identity checks. By verifying every vendor against national government records and conducting in-person field audits at their registered workspaces, we filter out bad actors entirely.

Why Bot-Native?

We built askvenda directly inside WhatsApp and Telegram because that is where Nigerians already chat, browse, and connect. There is no heavy mobile app to download, no passwords to forget, and no complex registration forms. With a single text, you gain immediate, free access to a pre-inspected local service directory.
