About Silq

The operating system for the businesses Africa actually runs on.

Millions of African businesses run on WhatsApp threads and Instagram DMs. Silq turns that chaos into one calm system, without asking anyone to change how they already work.

Why we exist

It started with a kitchen in Lekki.

We watched a Lagos restaurant lose orders, money and sleep to a 200-message WhatsApp thread, not for lack of demand, but for lack of a system built for how they actually sell. Every tool on the market assumed a storefront, a website, a checkout. Theirs was a chat.

So we built for the chat. Silq's AI reads orders as they arrive, captures every detail, reconciles the money, and hands the owner one clean dashboard. We started with restaurants because they're the most demanding case, and we're opening to every chat-native business next.

What we believe

Three things we won't compromise on.

Meet people where they are

Customers shouldn't download a new app or learn a new flow. Silq lives inside the WhatsApp and Instagram threads they already use every day.

The money is the owner's

Funds settle to the business owner's own bank account, never a pooled wallet. Staff run operations without ever seeing a balance.

Trust is earned in person

We verify every business physically and bind each account to a real identity. The badge means a real person at a real address stands behind it.

Built in Lagos, for Lagos first.
Live with verified restaurants across Lekki, Yaba, Victoria Island and Ikeja, and growing every week.
