The intelligence
layer for
commerce.
BROKA is building an intelligent commerce platform that brings discovery, negotiation, trust and decision-making into one connected experience — built for East Africa and beyond.
Built in Kenya. Designed for a global market.
Information doesn't flow
where it's needed.
In informal markets across East Africa, buyers and sellers rarely deal with each other directly. Intermediaries connect both sides — but they can also introduce cost, opacity and friction. The result is that both parties often end up worse off than they should be.

The intelligence inside one.
BROKA sits between buyers and sellers — not as an intermediary, but as the intelligence that helps both sides make better decisions. Discovery, context, negotiation, trust — brought together in a single coherent experience.
Discover
Find what you need. Surface who has it. Context-aware, not just keyword-matched.
Understand
Get useful information about products, sellers and deals before committing.
Negotiate
Zeno can assist the negotiation — helping both sides reach a better outcome.
Complete
Move toward payment, delivery, trust and resolution — all in one platform.
Intelligence built into
every transaction.
Zeno is not a chatbot attached to a marketplace. Zeno is designed to understand the full context of a deal — and to be useful to both sides of it.
From intent to outcome.
A deal that used to take days of phone calls, uncertain pricing and trust built on nothing but a handshake.
Kenya. East Africa.
The world.
We are starting in Kenya because that is where we understand the problem best. But the dynamics of informal commerce, information asymmetry and trust are universal. The platform we are building here is designed to travel.

The same dynamics that shape Kenyan markets exist across the region. The infrastructure travels.
Information asymmetry and friction are universal problems. The ambition is not limited to one continent.
Engineered for
real commerce.
BROKA is being built on a technical foundation designed to handle the actual demands of commerce at scale — AI systems, marketplace infrastructure, payments, trust mechanisms and real-time communication.
Two founders. One idea.
Xavier and Arnold Ochieng founded BROKA after observing the friction and cost in informal commerce first-hand.
Commerce is changing.
