WhatsApp-native order management
Small sellers already run sales, inventory, delivery updates, and repeat-customer follow-up inside chat threads.
Build a lightweight operating layer that turns messy DMs into orders, stock movement, customer reminders, and simple sales records.
Cross-border work administration
Nigerian professionals earning from overseas clients need cleaner ways to handle invoices, tax records, benefits, and local proof of income.
Create the back-office layer for remote earners before expanding into lending, insurance, or wealth products.
Reliability services for productive businesses
Shops, clinics, schools, and workshops are buying power equipment, but maintenance, uptime guarantees, and trusted technicians remain fragmented.
Own the post-installation reliability layer where downtime is expensive and recurring service revenue is easier to justify.
Pricing
Start free, upgrade when research becomes regular.
Choose the workspace level that matches how often you need evidence-backed opportunity discovery, deep dives, and recurring research.

Questions
Everything you need to know about starting your next research thread with Meridian.
What is Meridian?
Meridian finds business ideas, market gaps, and opportunity briefs from real signals in Nigeria and Africa.
Do I need to bring my own ideas?
No. Finding the ideas is Meridian’s job. If you already have some, it helps you pressure-test them against real-world data to find your strongest opening.
How is this different from a chatbot?
Most chatbots just talk. Meridian works. It does the research legwork, tracks its sources, and builds a compounding base of knowledge for your next move.
