The company
US engineering standards, built for how Angola does business.
Wanvid is a US-registered company building AI infrastructure for the Angolan market. Our founder, Wata David, started behind the counter of a small reprography shop in Soyo, Angola — the kind of business that drowns in paperwork and can’t afford a single costly mistake. That’s where we learned, first-hand, exactly what operators here need software to do.
As a Mandela Washington Fellow at Lehigh University, he paired that with engineering. Wanvid brings the two together: software built to the standard US companies are held to, designed for Angolan fiscal reality — IVA, AGT e-invoicing, the way facturas actually move. WanvidFact AI is what that looks like in production.
