About MIPOconnect
MIPOconnect connects people across Africa who need a one-off helping hand with people nearby who know how to do the job.
What is MIPOconnect?
MIPOconnect is the African platform for one-off gigs. MIPO stands for Missions Ponctuelles, French for one-off gigs.
It lets individuals and professionals post gigs and find available talents to carry them out. Talents can look for opportunities, offer their skills and carry out gigs to grow their income.
Our slogan sums up the idea: “Where a need meets the right person.”
Why MIPOconnect?
Finding someone reliable for a move, cleaning, a repair or a quality photo shoot still often depends on word of mouth. And many skilled people, young people especially, struggle to find gigs and get known.
MIPOconnect makes these meetings simple: the client describes what they need, talents nearby apply, and everyone chooses knowing who they are dealing with.
How does it work?
- The client posts a gig for free: what needs doing, where, when and for what budget.
- Talents in the area see it and apply, with a short note if they wish.
- The client compares profiles, chats with talents through the messaging, then chooses.
- Once the application is accepted, each receives the other’s contact details to get organised.
- The client pays the talent directly, as agreed between them. MIPOconnect takes no commission.
Who is it for?
- Clients: individuals, families, shopkeepers, small businesses… anyone who needs a one-off service.
- Talents: any adult who offers a skill (cleaning, plumbing, electrical work, childcare, lessons, moving and much more), following the rules of their country.
One account can open both spaces: you can post a gig one day and carry out another the next.
Our model
MIPOconnect is free for clients. Talents can apply to 5 gigs a month without paying. To go further, the optional Talent+ subscription offers unlimited applications and tools to win more gigs, for the equivalent of €3 a month or €1 a week, shown in each country’s currency, or in US dollars where paying locally is not possible yet.
Together with the optional Client+ credit packs, it is our only income: we take nothing from gigs, and gig money never goes through us.
Built for Africa
- Available in all 54 African countries, with amounts shown in your local currency.
- In four languages: French, English, Kiswahili and Kinyarwanda.
- Usable on a weak connection: pages already opened stay available, and what you write offline (message, application, gig, profile, report) is sent by itself as soon as the connection is back.
