The Problem: Nigeria's LPG market is fragmented. Buyers can't find verified sellers. Sellers can't reach customers beyond their street. Cash-on-delivery dominates because nobody trusts anyone.

The Solution: OGas — a digital LPG marketplace platform connecting verified gas sellers with households and businesses. Not a delivery app. A B2B2C marketplace with built-in Paystack escrow.

How it works: Sellers list inventory. Buyers pay via Paystack (funds held in escrow). Seller delivers independently. Buyer confirms receipt. Funds release: 90% to seller, 10% commission to OGas.

Traction:

• Live in Ughelli, Delta State, Nigeria

• CAC registered (BN: 9638951), FIRS TIN verified

• Paystack business account active with live escrow transactions

• Recently presented to Delta State Economic Zone (DSEZ)

The Ask: $200K seed to scale to 8 cities, build our B2B wholesale layer for restaurants/hotels, and launch logistics partnerships.

Seeking: Angel/seed investors with marketplace or African market experience. Also seeking a technical co-founder (React Native/Firebase).

Deck and financials ready on request.

This is an interesting approach to a very real problem in Nigeria’s LPG market, Simon.
The escrow model could be a strong way to build trust between buyers and sellers...

Wishing you all the best with the $200K raise and scaling OGas into more cities. 🫡
