The Problem
Doing business in Africa runs on relationships.
Trustworks helps you find
the right ones.
Cold outreach fails
Emails go unanswered. LinkedIn messages get ignored. Without a trusted introduction, high-quality professionals in Africa are unreachable.
No shared trust layer
There is no pan-African reference check system. Every deal, partnership, or hire requires costly, time-consuming offline due diligence.
Relationships don't scale
The most valuable networks in Africa are informal — locked inside WhatsApp groups and regional chambers that newcomers can't access.
"We built TrustWorks because the informal trust layer that makes African business work deserved formal infrastructure."

The TrustScore
A single number that signals credibility
TrustScore is a composite index from 0–100. It reflects verifications, endorsements, deal history, and community accountability. It cannot be bought — only earned.

Identity Verification
Email, LinkedIn profile, government ID, and optional video interview. Multi-layer verification so every profile represents a real person.
Peer Endorsements
Colleagues, partners, and counterparts validate your track record. Endorsements are tagged, timestamped, and permanently on-chain.
Deal History
Completed introductions and transactions are recorded. A professional who has closed deals has a higher, demonstrably earned TrustScore.
