That SaaS sitting quietly in your GitHub repo
There’s a SaaS sitting quietly in your GitHub repo.
Yes. That one.
The one you built during lockdown.
 The one you hacked together after lectures.
 The one that actually works… but you’re too busy (or too broke) to scale it.
I know too many Zimbabwean devs like this. Some I went to school with. Some still students. Brilliant minds building real products, fintech tools, niche SaaS, marketplaces, automation systems, etc.
But here’s the problem:
Running a startup is hard.
 Funding is scarce.
 Infrastructure is brutal.
So naturally, you think:
 “Let me sell it.”
You Google: Where can I sell my online business?
And boom.. Flippa.com shows up
Then reality hits.
❌ Zimbabwe blocked.
 ❌ African payment systems unsupported.
 ❌ Our currencies? Not considered.
Even if you wanted to exit, the system isn’t built for you.
Now imagine this instead:
A marketplace designed for African builders.
A platform that understands M-PESA, EcoCash, Paynow, local banks like FNB eWallet. A place where your “side project” gets real market value. Where dormant code turns into capital. Where serious buyers meet African innovation.
That SaaS sitting in your repo?
It’s not dead weight.
It’s an asset.

Africa doesn’t lack talent.
We lack infrastructure that works for us.
And that’s exactly why we’re building FLIPit.
If you’ve ever built something valuable but felt stuck because global platforms weren’t built for our realities let’s connect. Your code deserves more than a private repo.
