Verification

How we verify listings

Every listing on NileNest is reviewed by a human before it goes live. Here's exactly how our verification process works.

01
You submit your listing

Fill out the submission form with your startup, investor fund, newsletter, or open-source project details. Our AI pre-fills many fields from your website URL to save you time.

02
We review within 24 hours

Our editorial team checks every submission for accuracy, relevance, and completeness. We verify that the entity is real, Africa-focused or Africa-founded, and that contact info is correct.

03
Verified badge awarded

Listings that pass our review receive a ✓ Verified badge. Verified listings appear higher in search results and on the map. We re-verify listings annually.

04
Community keeps us honest

Anyone can flag an inaccurate listing. Flagged listings are re-reviewed within 48 hours. If we can't confirm accuracy, the listing is unpublished until resolved.
