Nigeria's gift card and airtime marketplace scaled to a million users across Nigeria and Ghana and built a 130-person team around them. Thin margins in digital assets demand volume that the runway ran out before they could reach. | Nigeria | ShutDown | | GoLemon | /graveyard/golemon | Here lies GoLemon. Four Paystack alumni took the aisle Jumia Food and Bolt Food had just walked out of, sourced from farms, built the warehouses and the code, and moved ₦2bn of groceries at a profit on every basket. There were never enough baskets. Profitable per order, insolvent per company. | Nigeria | ShutDown | | NoOnes | /graveyard/noones | Here lies NoOnes. Built from Paxful's ashes as a peer-to-peer 'distributed nation' for the Global South, it signed up 2.5 million traders and asked what power the old system had once everyone went P2P. Brussels answered on 23 July 2026. For the first time, no one could trade there. | Kenya | ShutDown | | Invest XD | /graveyard/invest-xd | Here lies InvestXD. Three MEST graduates built a place to buy Ghanaian unit trusts and treasury bills without queueing at a bank. It pitched at DEMO Africa and did not place. The only investment product it ever finally listed was its own domain, for sale. | Ghana | Dormant | | KebreaGhana | /graveyard/kebreaghana | Here lies Kebrea. Two founders saved GHS 150 a month each to register it, then sold electronics on hire purchase and booked GHS 500,000 in sales. The press stopped writing in January 2018. The shop that let Ghanaians pay in instalments ran out of time to collect. | Ghana | Dormant | | Vielly | /graveyard/vielly | Here lies Vielly. It planned shared rides along Accra's busiest road at a third of Uber's price, picking commuters up at bus stops. In December 2020 it was still hoping to launch the following month. The ride never came. | Ghana | Dormant | | Maka | /graveyard/maka | Here lies MAKA. Jumia Ghana's first chief executive built a live video shopping app for fashion and beauty and raised $2.65m in December 2023. Nothing was published after it. The livestream ended, and its lead investor quietly took the company off the portfolio page. | Nigeria | Dormant | | Shopnaw | /graveyard/shopnaw | Here lies Shopnaw. It put groceries, market goods, pharmacy items and restaurant meals in one Ghanaian marketplace and sent personal shoppers to the door. Its four apps stopped updating in August 2021 and were pulled from the store. Nobody came to collect the last order. | Ghana | Dormant | | Truckr | /graveyard/truckr | Here lies Truckr. It matched shippers with vetted truck operators, won $100,000 from MEST and a pitch prize in 2019, and claimed two hundred active trucks. Its own investor quietly dropped it from the portfolio page while its cohort-mates stayed. The last load was never collected. | Ghana | Dormant | | Eiko Health | /graveyard/eiko-health | Here lies Eiko Health. A banker came home after his father could not get emergency care and built an app to book doctors on demand. Eighteen months later the registrar dissolved it for filing nothing at all. No one answered its own emergency. | Ghana | Dormant | | Surfline | /graveyard/surfline | Here lies Surfline. It gave Ghana its first 4G network and still held a quarter of the fixed broadband market in 2022. Then exclusivity ended, the debts outran the revenue, and the network went down in February 2023. The company that sold connection was disconnected by the regulator. | Ghana | ShutDown | | Driva | /graveyard/driva | Here lies Driva. It joined the crowd of Ghanaian ride-hailing apps chasing Uber into Accra, promising drivers rewards for their loyalty. No founder, funding or closing date was ever recorded, and nobody can say whether a single reward was paid out. | Ghana | Dormant | | Dropyn | /graveyard/dropyn | Here lies Dropyn. It launched in Accra as wholly Ghanaian-owned, with fifty cars, two celebrity ambassadors and a promise that drivers would own their vehicle after two years of payments. The app stopped updating after eighteen months. Nobody finished the instalments. | Ghana | Dormant | | Rabarides | /graveyard/rabarides | Here lies Raba Rides. It let Accra drivers pick up commuters heading the same way, priced for the people Uber had already priced out. One archived page from January 2023 is the whole record. The site still answers, and still refuses to take anyone. | Ghana | Dormant | | Tingo | /graveyard/tingo | Here lies Tingo. It claimed millions of Nigerian farmers and $461.7m sitting in the bank, reverse-merged onto Nasdaq and seated a former president on its board. The real balance was under fifty dollars. Everything about it grew except the crops. | Nigeria | ShutDown | | African Jober | /graveyard/african-jober | Here lies African Jober. A Swiss private banker taught himself to code and built a portal to match skilled Africans with employers worldwide. It filed dormant accounts, then nothing at all. The job board that promised work never found any of its own. | Ghana | ShutDown | | GreenPath Food | /graveyard/greenpath-food | Here lies GreenPath Food. It cold-chained organic fruit and herbs from hundreds of Ethiopian smallholders to buyers in Europe and the Gulf, on $4.5m from Novastar and development finance. Nobody said why it stopped. The creditors' liquidation was the last harvest left to divide. | Ethiopia | ShutDown | | Hohm Energy | /graveyard/hohm-energy | Here lies Hohm Energy. It matched South African homeowners with solar installers and lenders, and raised the largest seed round the country had ever seen. Then the load-shedding stopped. Seven months after the record raise, the lights came back on and Hohm went out. | South Africa | ShutDown | | Busy Internet | /graveyard/busy-internet | Here lies Busy Internet. Accra's landmark cafe turned 4G network, cash-positive four months after opening in 2001. Two decades on it could not pay the tower company, and the regulator's last subscriber count is the whole record. The line went dead without a disconnection notice. | Ghana | Dormant | | Cango (formerly SafeMotos) | /graveyard/cango-formerly-safemotos | Here lies Cango, which began as SafeMotos. It scored moto-taxi riders on telematics and ran half a million trips before Kinshasa grew 260% a month. Enthusiasm never became cheques: $180,000 of a $1m round arrived. The safest ride it ever called was the one to the exit. | Rwanda | ShutDown | | Zoobashop | /graveyard/zoobashop | Here lies Zoobashop. One of Ghana's first home-grown online stores, it sold electronics and appliances on delivery from 2013 and won the marketing institute's e-commerce award twice. The storefront was quietly decommissioned in 2022. Someone still pays the rent on the empty shop. | Ghana | Dormant | | Zuberi | /graveyard/zuberi | Here lies Zuberi. It let salaried Ghanaians draw the wages they had already earned, won ISO 27001 and a Google Black Founders Fund grant. Then the finance regulator decided it looked too much like a bank and told it to stop. Its own advance never cleared. | Ghana | ShutDown | | Enshika | /graveyard/enshika | Here lies Enshika. It booked taxis over USSD so riders needed neither a smartphone nor a data bundle, and ran in Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi. Its last app release was September 2019. The service that worked without the internet was finally erased by it. | Ghana | Dormant | | Codefactory | /graveyard/codefactory | Here lies Code Factory. It taught Accra's under-17s Scratch, Python and robotics under the wing of a large Ghanaian conglomerate. Nobody wrote a closing notice. The school that taught children to build for the web let its own domain expire. | Ghana | Dormant | ## Related pages - [Product alternatives](/alternatives) ## Access and citation - [Canonical HTML page](https://liners.com/graveyard) - [Markdown route index](/sitemap.md) - [Agent access guide](/llms.txt)
