GAGDOO: BRINGING KEY PLAYERS IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES TOGETHER ON A SINGLE SOCIAL PLATFORM FOR AFRICAN BUSINESS GROWTH AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

New York, USA: Gagdoo is a cutting-edge web-based social business platform designed for entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized enterprises, and international business entities to connect, collaborate, and engage in business opportunities with the African diaspora. Gagdoo simplifies the process of connecting traders, investors, customers, and other stakeholders, aiming to enhance business activities. The platform focuses on African small businesses and actively invites individuals and businesses to sign up for beta testing on www.Gagdoo.com to promote the latest African businesses. The presence of Africa is crucial globally, and African business owners play a vital role in shaping the future through information sharing and business expansion.

Gagdoo is taking this significant step because of the economic reality that will shape Africa’s future. “The Economist” reported from 2001 to 2010 that six of the world’s top ten developing economies were in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2011, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicted that Africa would hold seven of the top ten places in the next five years, demonstrating a thriving business environment. The question arises: where will your business be in five years? African small businesses have the potential to harness locally sourced inputs; why go to China when you can find what you need nearby? Gagdoo brings together major participants from various industries on a single social platform. This applies to both large corporations and emerging African businesses. Gagdoo provides the resources and information necessary, including industry insights, trends, expert advice, financial insights, and even free promotional opportunities.

Many individuals who have a strong belief in Africa have not only established themselves in business but are also encouraging others to do the same. Sizwe Nzima, the founder of Iyeza Express in Khayelitsha, South Africa, stated, “In my experience, Africa offers ample room for innovation. You don’t have to look far, especially when you face challenges. Look around you; you may be experiencing a problem that is a necessity in the community.”

Similarly, Zainab Ashadu, the founder of Zashadu Bags in Nigeria, emphasizes organic growth, stating, “I firmly believe in organic expansion because there’s nothing more motivating or satisfying. The most significant lesson I’ve learned is to dream big but start small.”

About Gagdoo:

Gagdoo, short for “the Great African Gain, Discovering Our Opportunities,” is a social business platform that facilitates business ventures and fosters connections within Africa and the African diaspora. Gagdoo originated from discussions among three members of the African diaspora (Olalekan Savage, Ogochukwu V. Adogu, LaToya Goree) about the challenges facing businesses of African descent, particularly the absence of a centralized network that allows businesses to promote themselves while also accessing goods and services vital for their growth. Recognizing that similar conversations were taking place across the globe in African diaspora communities, including London, Paris, Tokyo, New York, and Dubai, a group of young professionals came together to be part of the solution rather than the problem. Bankers, financial analysts, marketing executives, and IT analysts combined their talents to create an online environment that reflects and fosters the growth of the New Africa—the Africa that is evolving and progressing.
