A platform built on four unbreakable pillars — where cultural pride, economic empowerment, modern technology, and global belonging are not features, but foundations.
Every hire, every feature, every story published through Shauku must answer to these four commitments. They are not a marketing framework — they are how we make decisions.
Shauku tells African stories in African voices — free from colonial framing, Western gaze, or the poverty narrative. Every piece of content honours the richness, complexity, and diversity of 1.4 billion people across 54 nations and 3,000+ ethnic groups.
Shauku is not just a publishing platform — it is an economic engine. Storytellers get paid. Ambassadors earn. Local creatives, photographers, translators, and editors are hired first. We build wealth, not just audiences.
Built for the smartphone in Accra, the tablet in Addis, and the laptop in London. Offline-first for low-connectivity zones. AI that understands African languages, contexts, and cultural nuance — not a tool trained on Western defaults.
African stories belong to the world — and the world is watching. Shauku bridges the continent with its 200M+ diaspora and opens Africa's narrative to global audiences, without compromising authenticity or ownership of the story.
One clear vision at the top. No committee, no diluted voice — a single, passionate founder who is accountable for Shauku's soul.
The soul of the platform. Responsible for setting the cultural vision, protecting the brand's integrity, and ensuring Shauku never loses its African-first identity as it scales. Leads all investor conversations and is the public face of the movement.
The founder is not just a CEO — they are the chief storyteller, the conscience of the platform, and the person who answers the question: "What would Africa say about this?"
To start lean, focused, and moving fast — Shauku launches with six key roles around the founder. Each one owns an entire function. No overlaps, no confusion, no politics. These roles are open — apply below to lead with purpose.
