Gebeya Signs Two AI Deals to Power African Entrepreneurs Forward
Ethiopia’s Gebeya has announced two major Gebeya AI partnerships for African entrepreneurs, signalling a decisive push to make business creation accessible across the continent.
The pan-African AI technology company behind Dala Studio revealed the deals to help scale the platform’s impact in helping people build businesses using artificial intelligence.
Dala Studio, an all-in-one AI-powered creator platform enabling users to build apps, websites, games, comics, music, videos, and AI agents using natural language, with over 100,000 users across more than 40 countries. It supports 15 African languages and integrates with mobile money and airtime payments.
From Strategy to Launch Without the Usual Barriers
The first partnership is with PROFF-IT Investment Group, trading as VukaOS, an AI-driven ideation and go-to-market engine that will be integrated as a core module within Dala Studio. Together, they create a seamless “Plan-to-Build” workflow where entrepreneurs validate ideas through VukaOS, then execute directly in Dala Studio, with no coding required.
“African entrepreneurs no longer have to jump between tools or hire expensive developers to test their ideas,” said Amadou Daffe, CEO of Gebeya. “With VukaOS handling strategy and Dala Studio handling creation, founders can move from concept to launch faster than ever before.”
The second partnership sees Gebeya team up with Miva Open University, a licensed institution approved by Nigeria’s National Universities Commission, to equip over 25,000 Nigerian students with tools to build, launch, and run real digital businesses using AI.
“A student can go from idea to product, from product to income, all within one platform,” said Graham Ekoh, senior manager for projects and partnerships at Miva Open University
Together, these Gebeya AI partnerships for African entrepreneurs mark a pivotal moment turning Dala Studio into a complete launchpad for the next generation of African builders.
