Investors & Partners
We own what we make.
Noorvale Studios Limited is a Nigerian entertainment studio building original worlds and telling them in whatever form the story needs. The stories we originate, we own outright — that is the whole thesis, and everything below follows from it.
Where we actually are
Being precise about this is more useful than being impressive about it.
The company is real. Registered in Nigeria in 2025 as RC 8837679, working from Keffi in Nasarawa State.
The platform is built and live. Four consumer surfaces — Watch, Toons, Music and Play — on an edge-deployed stack, with authentication, subscriptions and payments through Paystack and Stripe already working. A mobile app exists and is unreleased. Most companies at this stage have a deck where this is.
The catalogue is empty. No published titles yet. The first Zaydora shorts are in production and go to YouTube, TikTok and Reels first — free distribution, because an audience has to exist before a subscription means anything.
That order is deliberate. A streaming platform with no content is a cost centre; the platform waits behind the work that earns an audience.
The market, with its sources attached
African entertainment and media is growing faster than the global average — a 3.7% global CAGR against considerably more here. Nigeria is the fastest-growing market on the continent at a 7.2% CAGR, reaching US$5.8 billion by 2029. South Africa is the largest at US$17.4 billion by the same year.
Two figures underneath that matter more to us than the totals. Nigerian gaming and esports revenue is growing at 7.6% and is expected to pass traditional television by 2028. And digital advertising reaches 84% of Nigerian ad spend by 2029, ahead of the 80% global benchmark — an audience that is already, overwhelmingly, watching on a phone.

What we are looking for
- Capital
- To finance original production — the first Zaydora shorts, then the series that follows them — and the team that makes it.
- Infrastructure
- Cloud, CDN and streaming partners. The platform runs on Cloudflare today; cost per delivered minute is the number that decides whether African streaming works.
- Creators
- Animators, writers, designers and directors who want to make African stories they part-own rather than work-for-hire on someone else's.
- Distribution
- Telcos, device manufacturers and platforms that reach African audiences where data costs and device class actually bite.
- Advisory
- People who have scaled an entertainment business on this continent and can say which of our assumptions are wrong.
