About the startup

Liners is a software review and discovery platform built for Africa. It covers categories from fintech and healthtech to logistics, e-commerce, edtech, and more, across markets like Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, and the rest of Africa. Africa's tech ecosystem is growing rapidly, but there's no central, reliable place to evaluate software built for or used across the continent. Most teams still make buying decisions by asking around. Global platforms like G2 barely cover African products, and the few local directories that tried never maintained enough data quality to earn trust. Liners fixes that with verified listings, side-by-side product comparisons, company profiles with funding and founder data, and real user reviews. Every review goes through automated fraud detection before it goes live, and there are no paid placements for reviews. Liners runs on 9 AI agents that handle product discovery, quality assurance, technical issues, and review verification.
