Ckrowd is a Nigerian creative-industry technology company founded by Olukayode “Kayode” Adebayo in 2020. It started as a content monetisation platform that let African creators in film, music and education livestream and sell on-demand video with region-specific pricing, raising $160,000 in 2021 through a pre-seed angel round and a government export grant under Nigeria’s Export Expansion Facility Programme.
The company has since expanded into live-entertainment infrastructure under the Ckrowd TourStack brand, offering promoters ticketing, built-in event insurance, audience data and a marketplace of vetted music professionals. In November 2026, Ckrowd TourStack ran a three-city student tour with Ayo Maff across Ile-Ife, Ibadan and Abeokuta, funded by insurer SanlamAllianz as a joint entertainment-and-insurance-education campaign.
Ckrowd is independent and founder-led. Its pivot from a creator-monetisation app toward B2B infrastructure for promoters, sponsors and insurers reflects a broader bet that Nigeria’s live-music sector needs financing and data tools as much as it needs ticketing.
