About Werkit
That mission has run through everything we've built since 2020, from data work at scale to a senior-led delivery studio.
Six years, and counting
There is enormous digital talent across Africa, and global demand for the work it can do. The hard part was never ability. It was access, training, and getting paid reliably.
AI and data companies needed human judgement at volume. We recruited, trained and managed the teams that delivered it, and clients came back for more.
Word travels fast where good digital work is scarce. Tens of thousands of people joined the community we recruit and train from.
Paying people reliably, every time, in places where that is genuinely hard, is the part most of this industry skips. It is the part we own.
Werkit wins the project, a senior expert owns scope, design and QA, and vetted builder pods execute. The same mission as day one, further up the value chain.
For six years we have delivered human-in-the-loop data work at scale, including labeling, annotation, moderation and enrichment, for AI and data companies such as Scale AI, Verbit, Clearco, Perion Network, Zencity, Buckstop, Respo.Vision and Paces, a Y Combinator startup. Along the way we have paid out more than $3.27M to African digital workers and grown a talent community of 40,000+.
As that community grew, so did its ambitions. Today we recruit builders from it and train them through paid, cohort-based programmes into product work. That is what Werkit is now: a talent-to-delivery studio. We win the client project, a senior expert owns scope, design and QA, and vetted African builder pods execute the build. We are a US (Delaware) company, and we won the COVID-19 Innovation Award at Smart City Live 2020 for creating safe digital jobs in Africa during a global crisis.
