The Heart Behind Whudey
Empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs to build, scale, and own their professional identity.
The Whudey Story: From "Price in DM" to Professional Power
The Spark
It started with a simple observation on a busy afternoon in Port Harcourt. Our founder watched as a local entrepreneur spent hours uploading 20+ photos to her WhatsApp Status, only to spend the next 4 hours answering the same two questions repeatedly: "How much?" and "Is this available?"
We saw the hidden "tax" on social selling—the stress of reposting everything once it automatically deletes after 24 hours, and the absolute war that is editing a product detail once it’s already been shared. If a price changed or an item sold out, the seller was stuck in a loop of manual updates and missed opportunities.
Whudey was built to end that war. We believe your time should be spent growing your brand, not babysitting a status update.
He saw brilliant, hardworking sellers losing sales because their "storefront" was a chaotic chat thread. They had the hustle, but they didn't have the tools.
The Realization
Sellers didn't need another marketplace where they'd be buried under competitors. They needed ownership. They needed a way to look professional without losing the personal touch of a conversation.
The Birth of Whudey
Whudey was born from a single mission: To turn every social media seller into a global brand. We wanted to create a platform where a seller could go live in 60 seconds, keep 100% of their profit, and close deals on the apps they already loved—be it WhatsApp, TikTok, Facebook or Instagram.
Whudey isn't just a web app; it's our answer to the digital divide, giving small and medium-scale businesses the "Big Brand" edge with none of the complexity.
Our Vision
Empowering the entrepreneur by professionalizing the informal sector. We believe every seller deserves the tools to compete globally while maintaining their personal touch.
Our Mission
To provide simple, powerful tools that let entrepreneurs focus on what they do best—selling. No complicated dashboards, no hidden fees, just professional storefronts that work.
What We Stand For
Ownership
Your store, your brand, your rules. We believe sellers should own their customer relationships, not rent them.
Simplicity
Professional tools shouldn't require a degree in tech. If it takes more than 60 seconds, we haven't done our job.
Transparency
No hidden fees, no surprise charges. You keep 100% of your profits, and we're upfront about everything.
Local Understanding
Built in Port Harcourt for entrepreneurs who understand the hustle because we live it too.
We're a startup team based in Nigeria, building tools for the world. We understand the challenges of the entrepreneur because we see them every day in our community. From the fashion vendor on Instagram to the tech seller on WhatsApp, we're here to give you the professional edge you deserve.
