While Silicon Valley obsesses over AI avatars, Wasoko is solving a far more visceral problem: getting soap and sugar to the millions of mom-and-pop shops that constitute 80% of African retail. This isn't a lifestyle app; it's a hard-tech logistics play disguised as a website.

• Logistics Optimization: Aggregating demand to lower the cost of goods for the smallest buyers.
