Research Collective

Engineering the next African narrative.

We produce open-access research intelligence that drives growth for products building in African markets and for investors looking to scale within them.

Three pillars of intelligence

Our research helps partner products evaluate timing, features, and target markets without the cost of building an internal research operation.

01

Technical Research

Theories, experimental models, and deep analysis of emerging technologies. Understanding how they shape the direction of products and markets across Africa.

02

Product Research

What do users actually think? We go beyond community echo chambers with product surveys and comparative analysis that reveal the methods that work.

03

Market Research

Trends, geopolitical developments, and macroeconomic signals that shape the trajectory of the general market or a particular niche.

The industry benchmark for African research

Project Sinan is a research collective born from the intersection of great African products in need of sophisticated market intelligence, and researchers seeking a career path beyond just bounties.

Our Position

We don't just report on the market. We capitalize on deep intelligence, providing our partners with the high-level research they need to scale and lead.

Open-Access Intelligence

No subscription wall. Our mission is to provide the open-access research required to drive growth in African markets.

Contributors Welcome

Join the writing, editing, or research teams. We use a points system and leaderboards to grade contributions and open pathways.

Absolute Neutrality

We do not have and will not launch a token. High-level research demands freedom from the volatility of speculative assets.

Building alongside the best

We work with leading organizations across the African and global Web3 ecosystem.

Engineering the African Narrative

Join us for a two-day virtual workshop on what it takes to build research-grade intelligence for African markets. Whether you're a product looking for market insights or a researcher ready to contribute, this is your entry point.
