About the startup

What are you building?

Squegy is a two-sided marketplace for skilled trades in Nigeria. Clients post jobs with photos and a budget, receive bids from nearby artisans, negotiate, and pay through a secure escrow wallet that only releases funds on job completion. Artisans manage their profile, services, availability, and bookings from one app. The platform handles scheduling, transparent pricing, in-app chat, identity verification, before and after job photos, and direct bank withdrawals.

Problem you're solving

Finding reliable, skilled tradespeople in Nigeria is frustrating and relies on trust. Artisans lack consistent work outside word of mouth. Squegy fixes both sides, clients get verified professionals with clear pricing, artisans get steady jobs and secure payments.
