Hello 👋
I'm David
Founder and CEO of Manano. This isn't just a company pitch. It's an open door to build something important together.
Our mission is simple:
Getting tradespeople paid faster.
There's a few problems.??
Tradespeople wait 60 to 90 days to get paid, have no access to working capital, and run their business through personal bank accounts. They lose hours each week on unpaid admin: quotes, invoices, digging receipts in their vans. That is unpaid work, and lost tax back money. And tech companies have never built for them. We do.
We fix that, starting inside WhatsApp??, the tool they already use every day.
How it works: Tradespeople send a voice note or text message. We handle the rest. In seconds, they get a professional invoice with an instant payment option. No app. No learning curve. No new tech.
Market Opportunity
- 400M+ tradespeople globally
- €10T+ moves through them every year
- 100M+ already use WhatsApp as their primary communication platform
- Current solutions are built for desks, not for hands
We're not fighting behavior. We're meeting them where they are.
The Problem: Financial Exclusion
90% of tradespeople are financially invisible. A €100B+ opportunity hidden in plain sight.
Wait 60-90 days to get paid
After finishing a job, they wait months to see their money. This creates serious cash flow problems.
No access to working capital
Banks see personal credit files. They don't see business activity or real work.
Use personal accounts for business
Most don't have proper business accounts. This makes everything harder.
Unpaid paperwork time
Hours wasted on admin tasks. Quotes, invoices, tracking. It's unpaid work.
How We Work
Start where they are: AI-first, multilingual invoicing, payments, and book-keeping. Inside WhatsApp. No app. No learning curve. No new tech.
The lock-in: We become part of their money flow. Every time money moves, we make money.
