Our Story
About Velvet Africa
The premier booking platform for verified creators across Africa.
Our Mission
We connect verified, professional creators with clients who appreciate quality, privacy, and authenticity. Every creator on our platform is ID-checked, interviewed, and approved before their first booking goes live. We believe that the people on both sides of every booking deserve safety, transparency, and a platform that genuinely works for them.
What We Stand For
Verified First
Every creator is ID-checked, interviewed, and approved by our team before their profile goes live. No exceptions.
Safe by Design
Escrow payments, live safety check-ins, an in-app SOS button, and block & report tools protect every interaction.
Built for Africa
Mobile money, local currencies, and a focus on African cities means the platform works the way you already do.
