When he was eight years old, Joseph Onyero<\/a> decided to build a helicopter out of wood. \u201cI had that mentality to create something,\u201d he states. \u201cIt flew a bit, then fell to the ground, and was ultimately unsuccessful. But it\u2019s not about being successful, it\u2019s about having a vision and seeing it through.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early February 2026, Onyero\u2019s newest vision came to life as his company Bebuzee<\/a> was an early attempt to introduce a \u2018superapp\u2019 model in Western markets<\/a>, combining social networking, payments, commerce, content, and services into a single ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyped as \u201ccontributing to ongoing changes in digital platforms,\u201d Bebuzee is the amalgamation of social media, video, messaging, business tools, and content discovery into one unified experience, eliminating the need for multiple apps and fragmented platforms. For example, WeChat <\/em>in Asia started out as a messaging service and eventually grew into a \u201csuperapp.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that was in Asia only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bebuzee is aiming to develop a super-app model for Western markets. \u201cBebuzee was born in 2012,\u201d Onyero shares, \u201cand is a result of a sense of remorse after my first venture failed to materialize in 2004. I never anticipated it\u2019d take this long to become a reality. That\u2019s why we\u2019re so delighted that the \u2018superapp\u2019 was completed in the back end of 2023 \u2026 it\u2019s a huge achievement.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fostering community and collaboration beyond functionality, Bebuzee has photo and video features akin to those found on today\u2019s most popular social networking and content-sharing platforms, allowing users to create, discover, and engage with visual stories in real time. \u201cA lot of our functions don\u2019t exist anywhere else,\u201d shares Onyero. \u201cFor example, we have a feature called \u2018Real Estate Newsfeed.\u2019 This covers real estate news globally, not just in North America.\u201d Where Bebuzee separates itself from other platforms is a 50-50 revenue-sharing model for content creators that the company says differs from the structures commonly used on many social media platforms. \u201cWe see content creators as having made certain social media platforms relevant. Therefore, we want to reward them. Without content, platforms don\u2019t hold much value.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another notable aspect of Bebuzee\u2019s development is the protection of personal data that Onyero says, \u201cis owned by the user, not us. We encourage free speech for our users, while exercising caution and respect.\u201d Whereas other platforms originally began as social networking sites that morphed into multifunctional digital ecosystems, Bebuzee is able to pivot with regard to what and how they add content, as it doesn\u2019t have to break from its existing business model. \u201cThat\u2019s how those platforms generate their revenue,\u201d Onyero continues, \u201cregardless of how much capital they have. So we\u2019re going into this venture not overly concerned with how much the big boys have to play with.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s this confidence and reassurance that Onyero says allows him to think big with regard to how big a global reach Bebuzee will eventually have. While the initial goal is to conquer North America and Europe, Onyero will look to saturate the African market with his concept, as it would be a proud achievement to dominate his native continent. In a world lacking data sharing, user trust, ecosystem fragmentation, and platform fatigue, Onyero aims to provide an environment built on respect and freedom of expression. \u201cThe \u2018superapp\u2019 is arguably the toughest project I\u2019ve ever worked on in my life,\u201d Onyero says. \u201cIf I\u2019d known it\u2019d have taken this long, I\u2019d have thought twice. But then again, much like the helicopter story in my childhood, I love challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
