✦ griot Marketplace
Africa's data.
Finally usable.
Structured, verified data products for African markets. County-level economic data, demographic insights, and business intelligence — cleaned, quality-scored, and API-accessible.
✦ The Problem
The data exists. Getting it shouldn't be this hard.
Africa's public data is scattered across government portals, locked in PDF reports, and buried in inconsistent spreadsheets. Every organisation starts from scratch.
Fragmented Sources
Government portals, PDF reports, paywalled databases. Every organisation starts from scratch.
Unusable Formats
Inconsistent schemas, merged Excel cells, missing metadata. Months of cleaning before a single insight.
No Infrastructure
No API access. No versioning. No quality guarantees. No way to know if the data you found is current.

✦ How It's Different
Built for what Africa actually needs.
Premium analytics platforms charge enterprise prices for narrow coverage. We provide raw, structured data across all 47 Kenyan counties — at a fraction of the cost.
Open data portals have the right mission but inconsistent quality. We add schema validation, quality scores, freshness guarantees, and API access.
Every organisation manually scrapes the same PDFs and cleans the same spreadsheets. We do it once, do it right, and deliver it via API.
