The Opportunity

Problem

Ghanaian creators are blocked from frequent video uploads and live streaming by expensive mobile data bundles, stalling their audience growth.

Solution

Send tiny metadata to GhaProxy; our servers pull your video from phone storage via efficient chunking or handle full proxy from cloud links. We upload to social platforms using bulk server bandwidth. Ghana creators bypass personal data bundles entirely.

Target Audience

Ghanaian content creators in the creator economy who rely on mobile data for video uploads and live streaming

Differentiator

Optimized chunked transfer for erratic Ghana mobile networks + server-side tariff arbitrage
