"I work with a lot of founders, product leaders and teams, and the challenge of accessing and using accurate, relevant and context sensitive information in Africa is real and present. Yuba may have cracked the code on this, and this tool should be a part of your daily product stack if you are serious about building products that your customers love."

"I've been testing this tool and I'm really impressed by how powerful it is—not just in surfacing highly relevant sources, but also in providing eye-opeing insights. Even by just running the problem we're solcing for, it provided fresh perspectives tailored to my company's, MYCO, problem space. Yuba is timely, and a much needed intervention, not just to get started, but also to check oneself along the process."

Frequently Asked Questions

and how we can help you.

Yuba is a sounding board for Early Stage African Founders. We have developed a multi-agent AI system that combines unique strengths of purpose built and specialized AI Agents to supercharge your entrepreneurial journey.

Yuba is NOT another AI model. Unlike ChatGPT, DeepSeek and their likes, Yuba's AI Agents have been developed and trained to simulate trusted experts and venture builders to deliver structured guidance and tailored, relevant, and context biased insights based on proven entrepreneurial frameworks. Bonus point, with Yuba, you do not need to worry about your prompting skills.

Yuba empowers users to embark upon a self directed venture building process, and that, in four modules: Problem Discovery, Value Proposition Design, MVP & Business Model Development, and Market Validation. At any given stage, Yuba provides on-demand expert guidance from our vetted Venture Builders.

- If you are an early-stage African Founder within the Pre-idea and Market Validation spectrum, Yuba is built for you. - If you have validated your market, but still wish to run additional validation, Yuba is built for you. - If you are a venture builder, coach, mentor, program manager - or involved in supporting entrepreneurs in any shape or form, Yuba is built for you. - If you are a university or any other form of institution running entrepreneurship programs, Yuba is built for you.

Presently, you can access Module one, Problem Validation. Subsequent Modules are under development and will release soon. Stay tuned.

Yuba analyzes and feeds off verified, trusted and publicly available data sources such as government sites and publications, policy reports, academic research, market databases, and industry white papers, many of which are ordinarily hard to get to. In doing so, Yuba emphasizes relevance, accuracy, and contextual insight with every output.

Absolutely. Yuba is designed to be beginner and user-friendly while still maintaining high quality outputs. The guided flow and custom AI agents make it easy for any user, irrespective of their tech savvyness to comfortably navigate the platform and meet their needs.

Yes you can. With the history functionality, Yuba automatically saves your work, which you are able to access at anytime, going forward.
