Vicilook is a technology that has over the years metamorphed from a static directory platform for businesses around UNN Campus to a complete Digital Infrastructure whose intertwined ecosystem of features keeps growing and expanding, for the primary building of Smart Communities, via the extraction and harnessing of available, verified and dynamic data, that is being produced by physical communities within Nigeria and accessed by users globally. After spending 4 years of going through various stages of development and evolution, it finally got incorporated as a company, Vicilook Technology Nig. Ltd. RC8367977 in 2024, as it started generating so much revenue and growing in vision on the basis of release of new innovative and novel feature almost every following week, separating it from its previous mother company, Epignoxis Technology Nig. Ltd. RC1150857.
I. The Problem & Our Unique Vision:
The Problem is that Africa’s growth is paralyzed by friction. Local information is fractured, unverified, and invisible to the digital economy. This lack of reliable, accessible data hampers commerce, enables fraud, and isolates communities.
The Solution is Vicilook—the essential Digital Operating System for Local Life. We are a platform built to verify, organize, and monetize hyper-local information across critical sectors, transforming friction into predictable revenue. Our innovation is validated by the IT History Society (ITHS), recognizing our role in “Shaping the future of grassroots digital infrastructure.”
Founder/Market Fit: The strategic and technical visionary is one person: Dickson Cliff Okechukwu, the Founder/CEO and CTO. This unified leadership ensures seamless execution and validates the technical competence required for our proprietary system.
II. The Business Model: High-Margin Verticals & Traction
Vicilook is a multi-vertical SaaS and B2B Intelligence platform with an exceptionally high Gross Margin, demonstrating extreme capital efficiency.
A. The Monetization Stack & Services
Vicilook generates highly defensible, recurring revenue across four key verticals, powered by our proprietary ViciPlugins and delivered via the Vicilook Apps Vicinity (our curated app store for instant, targeted access).
The four main revenue verticals, their key services, and pricing models are:
Education: Services like Campus Xplorer (VR maps/navigation), Academic Office (digital admin), and Yearbook (verification) are sold as high-LTV, institutionally locked SaaS ARR, priced between ₦500 and ₦3,000 per student/staff per annum.
Culture & Faith: Services like Vicilook Towns & Lineage (Clan Pages) and DICDAL 1.0 (Church Directory) generate highly repeatable, scalable SaaS ARR. For instance, Clan Pages are ₦25,000 per unit/annum, while church services range from ₦1,000 to ₦3,000 per unit/annum.
Local Commerce: Services like the Verified Biz Hub, Property, Farmers Market, and Lawyerz are priced as a Directory/Ad model, ranging from ₦3,000 to ₦24,000 per business/annum. This high-volume revenue is fueled by our powerful SEO dominance.
Enterprise Security: Services like Product Security (Anti-Counterfeit) and E-Gov (Citizen Data) are sold via Multi-year B2B Service Contracts, such as the ₦8 Million VISA Group contract, marking them as high-value B2B/B2G revenue.
B. Financial Traction & Efficiency
Current Revenue (2025): We are currently generating an estimated ₦94 Million to ₦307 Million in annual revenue (before tax), validating our diversified model and scale.
Operational Efficiency: Our platform runs on a lean, 8-person remote staff with a remarkably low ₦2 Million in annual operating expenses. This results in an industry-leading 97%+ Gross Margin.
Market Potential: Our conservative analysis shows a clear path to becoming a ₦932 Million Annual Revenue company in Nigeria alone by capturing a modest fraction of the Total Addressable Market (TAM).
III. The Education & Talent Ecosystem
Our education model is self-sustaining and forms a critical talent pipeline and sales force.
School & Work Program: We partner with tertiary schools that use our technology (e.g., NOCEN, Paul University, UNN) to establish Vicilook Tech Hubs. These students are trained as agents, generating part-time income by earning a 30% commission on all revenue they generate, primarily by bringing local businesses online.
Mutual Value: This structure guarantees the maximum utility of the school’s investment (e.g., the ₦5 Million NOCEN ARR) while securing maximum sales effort from an empowered, motivated, and skilled on-
campus sales force, driving 70% retained profit for Vicilook.
IV. The Moat: Verified Data and B2B Intelligence
Our competitive advantage is built on the verified, proprietary data we own, which global platforms cannot replicate.
A. Strategic Data Dominance
AI Data Partnership Potential: Vicilook is poised to be a powerful source of local data for current AI companies. Our data—spanning verified local businesses, authenticated academic records, anti-counterfeit reports, and proprietary cultural knowledge from Clan Pages—is clean, structured, and geo-verified. This high-quality data is invaluable for training next-generation, region-specific AI models, representing a massive, high-margin future revenue stream.
Governance and Policy Impact: We are currently assisting governments in providing valid, real-time local data for proper policy making. Our E-Gov and community features turn anecdotal observations into verifiable data points that enable better urban planning, resource allocation, and policy implementation.
B. Scalability Mechanism
The Vicilooker Strategy: Our national expansion plan recruits and incentivizes indigenous agents (1 Vicilooker per LGA). By utilizing residents as knowledge custodians and digital managers of their own communities, we secure the deep local trust required to acquire and verify data, ensuring the authenticity and quality that fuels our platform and makes our B2B data valuable.
V. The Ask: $100,000 Strategic Seed Round
We are seeking a strategic seed investment of $100,000 to aggressively scale the business model that is already validated and profitable, converting regional success into national scale.
A. Use of Funds Breakdown (Est. ₦130 Million)
Sales & Distribution Leverage (40%, ₦52 Million): This capital will fund the recruitment, training, and incentivization of the first cohort of Vicilookers (1 per LGA). This will be supported by targeted, grassroots local targeted ad campaigns designed to generate immediate community awareness and sales for Clan Pages and Verified Businesses.
Core Product Scalability & AI R&D (35%, ₦45.5 Million): This will be used to initiate R&D for the V-Data AI Prototype, scale server capacity, and hire one Lead AI Engineer, establishing our long-term competitive moat.
Institutional Sales & Marketing (20%, ₦26 Million): We will fund targeted B2B/B2G outreach to close 6 major new institutional contracts (universities, dioceses, government agencies), accelerating high-LTV revenue.
Essential Operations Runway (5%, ₦6.5 Million): This provides an operational cushion to cover our lean OpEx while new revenue streams kick in.
B. Key Milestones (12-Month Promise)
In the next 12 months, we commit to achieving these metrics with the capital:
Revenue Run Rate: Achieve a ₦500 Million Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) run rate.
Institutional Growth: Expand to 10 Total Institutions (Universities/Dioceses/Major Clients).
Agent Network: Establish the Vicilooker model across 100+ Local Government Areas (LGAs) in target regions.
Technology: Deliver a functional V-Data AI Prototype which we are currently working on, which we named ‘AreaBoy’, which will function as an Agentic AI that would help you with any info about any Area (location) and even carryout tasks for you within the same Vicilook ecosystem, such as asking ‘AreaBoy’ to tell you which Restaurants along Club Road in Awka, Anambra State, that have ‘Oha Soup and Fufu’ in their Menu (via all the Digital Menu on Vicilook, which have a ‘ViciTag’ of ‘Club Road Awka Menus’ ), AreaBoy scans them and replies you, then you further go ahead and ask it to message any one you prefer to reserve a table or place an order after your payment as AreaBoy provides you with the restaurant’s Bank Account details and the price attached to the ‘Oha Soup and Fufu’.
The Closer:
Vicilook is the most capital-efficient, institutionally validated, and technically advanced digital infrastructure platform in Nigeria. We have proven the model, we have the revenue, and we have the team.
This $100,000 investment is the leverage needed to accelerate our growth, hit the ₦500M ARR mark, and confirm our path to becoming a Billion Naira revenue company.
Invest in Vicilook: Invest in the verified, intelligence engine of Africa’s digital future and beyond.
