Why We Exist
African communities deserve platforms built for their reality — not adapted from someone else's.
The Problem
Creators and organizers across Africa manage events with fragmented tools — WhatsApp broadcasts, manual payment tracking, and platforms built for other markets. The infrastructure they need simply doesn't exist for them.
The Opportunity
Africa has a generation of organizers, creators, and community builders ready to grow. They need modern, reliable platforms that understand local payments, local context, and local scale.
Our Answer
App Guts builds the infrastructure. Events Kona is our first platform. We are starting with event discovery and ticketing in Port Harcourt, and building from there — city by city, platform by platform.
Our Story
App Guts is a technology company building SaaS platforms and digital tools for African communities, creators, and businesses.
Our flagship product, Events Kona, is an event discovery, ticketing, and management platform, now live in Port Harcourt, Nigeria — built to work the way Nigerian organisers actually work, not adapted from markets that look nothing like ours.
Events Kona is the first platform in a broader vision to build infrastructure that powers how African communities connect, organise, and grow online.
