Our story

Building the marketplace your neighborhood deserves.

Xaraash started in 2022 to fix a broken problem — buying and selling in Somalia meant risking scams, unreliable meetups, and zero seller accountability. We built the marketplace we wished existed: phone-verified profiles, real reviews, and direct chat with no middlemen.

Our values

Trust over scale

Every account is phone-verified. In a market where phone fraud is common, identity matters. We protect the community, not the metrics.

Mobile money first

EVC Plus, eDahab, ZAAD, Sahal — we built around how Somalia already transacts. No bank account required, ever.

Safe meetups, always

Clear in-app guidance for safe handoffs in Mogadishu, Hargeisa, Bosaso, and Kismayo. List in 60 seconds, meet safely.
