Cosbyte creates platforms that solve real problems for millions
of people—from finding work to managing businesses to accessing
essential services.
Starting in Africa. Expanding to emerging markets worldwide.
This is the beginning of a journey to impact 1,000,000 lives
through technology.
Cosbyte Technologies was founded in 2016, initially as a web development and digital services company. For several years, the company served clients in and outside Ghana while experimenting with various product ideas on the side.
Like many entrepreneurs in emerging markets, the founding team balanced service work that generated immediate income with product development that held long-term potential. This approach provided valuable market insights but split focus between two very different business models.
In 2024, a strategic decision was made: commit fully to building products or remain a service company. The service business was shut down, equity was restructured to reflect actual contributions, and all resources were directed toward product development.
Today, Cosbyte is essentially beginning again—but with years of hard-won market knowledge that typical “day one” startups lack.
The team knows the landscape, understands the challenges, and is now fully committed to building infrastructure that scales.
This is the start of the product-focused chapter.
How We Build: Research-Driven, User-Focused
Why Emerging Markets? Why Now?
The constraints of emerging markets—low bandwidth, mobile-first users, complex payment systems—force better product design.
Solutions that work in these conditions are often superior to those built for easier environments.
CosByte is building infrastructure for this reality, starting in Africa and expanding to other emerging markets as products prove successful.
What We Are Building Now
Cosbyte is at the beginning of its product journey. The team is focused on building and launching GigShip, a freelance marketplace designed specifically for African markets.
The platform addresses real challenges: unreliable access to work opportunities, complex payment systems, and lack of trust infrastructure in digital marketplaces.
GigShip is being built mobile-first, optimized for low-bandwidth environments, and designed to work with the payment methods people actually use—from mobile money to bank transfers.
Current Stage: Testing phase in Ghana Progress: 80% complete, preparing for launch.
Goal: Launch to first 100 users, iterate based on feedback
Timeline: Public launch Q2 2026
This focused approach—building one product well before moving
to the next—is how sustainable companies are built.
We build and develop tools and platforms that address everyday challenges and empower businesses.
