Our story

Why we built this.

The idea for Sporafind was born in a small office in Accra, Ghana, where our team at Gabochie Intelligence kept hearing the same frustration from investment teams, diaspora affairs bureaux, and founders: "We know the talent and capital is out there, but we can't find it."

Ghanaian diaspora data was scattered across LinkedIn, scattered registries, outdated association directories, and disconnected news sources. Finding a single Ghanaian investor in London meant weeks of manual searching. Our thesis was simple: if the data exists in public signals, AI can find it, structure it, and put it in the hands of the people who need it.

Today, Sporafind surfaces 4.2 million+ Ghanaian diaspora profiles across 67 countries — segmented by investment capacity, profession, industry, and influence. Built in Accra, for the diaspora, by the diaspora.

Our values

What drives us, every day.

Four principles that shape how we build, how we serve, and how we think about diaspora intelligence.

Bias for Action

We ship fast, iterate faster, and never let perfect be the enemy of useful. Diaspora intelligence too urgent to wait.

African First

Every product decision starts with the question: does this serve Ghana and Africa? We build for our continent, not for Silicon Valley.

Data Sovereignty

Diaspora data belongs to its people. We enforce strict privacy, ethical sourcing, and never sell personal information.

Bridge Building

We connect Ghanaians at home with Ghanaians abroad. Every feature is designed to strengthen the ties that bind the diaspora to Ghana.
