Our Story

We started Rafiki to connect world-class freelance talent in Africa with companies everywhere. It began as a marketplace, evolved into curated teams of senior specialists, and grew into something bigger. The real challenge wasn’t finding talent, it was managing and paying global teams without the friction, delays, and outdated processes.

We help agencies, startups, and flexible teams split and consolidate multiple invoices, route payments across currencies, and stay compliant, all while working with the best fractional specialists and agencies in the business.

Rafiki OS is the platform that simplifies cross-border invoicing, payments, and compliance in one place.

Why “Rafiki”?

If you've ever watched The Lion King (who hasn't?), you'll undoubtedly remember Rafiki, the charismatic and somewhat eccentric confidant to the king of the Pride Lands, Mufasa.

Rafiki uses his wisdom to guide those around him and nurtures the next generation along their path from adolescence into adulthood, and ultimately exceptional leaders of their prides. Similarly, we exist to support the next generation of independent talent.

The word "Rafiki" translates as "friend.
