Products we build. Companies we co-build.
Labs is where B3n ships its own infrastructure and partners with founders on equity-based co-builds. Payd and Vabu are the anchor tenants. External engagements are selective and by introduction only.
Payd
A money OS for the global independent workforce. Cross-border payments, local spending, and financial management tools for 30,000+ freelancers, creatives, and borderless businesses across 35+ countries.
Vabu
Infrastructure for experiences that last. A platform for creators, organisers, and fanbases to build events, streams, and communities — spun out of Payd Experiences and now a standalone venture serving Africa's live economy.
Shey
A thinking room for founders. An AI-native notebook where you write messy, unfinished thoughts and Shey marks up your notebook with observations, questions, and next moves — like a sharp co-founder scribbling in the margins.
Labs engagements are selective and by introduction only.
One to three co-builds per year. If you know someone B3n has worked with, that's the path. If not, start with a sprint under Innovations — the best Labs partners come from inside the work.
