What is your app?
CraftArena is a gamified platform where trade apprentices (plumbers, electricians, carpenters, tailors, barbers) prove skills through weekly challenges, build verified portfolios, and get discovered by paying clients.

Who is it for?
Recent trade school graduates (ages 18-35) in emerging markets who have skills but can't find clients due to lack of portfolio or reputation. Primary market: Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, where 70%+ of trade graduates remain unemployed 6-12 months post-graduation.

CraftArena addresses such a real problem — skilled trades folks with no digital presence being overlooked is a massive opportunity. The gamified challenge + portfolio combo is a really smart approach for this audience. Rooting for you!

Such a cool initiative. I remember trying a version of this concept in school when I was lacking motivation. Good one mate!
