In today’s digital landscape, small businesses are competing for visibility against brands with huge budgets and dedicated marketing teams. For many entrepreneurs, staying consistent on social media feels like a second full-time job — researching trends, creating posts, and keeping up with constant platform changes.
That’s the challenge Chioma Ikeh sets out to solve. As the founder and CEO of Buzn AI, a product-led SaaS platform, she’s on a mission to make content creation simpler, smarter, and scalable for entrepreneurs everywhere.
“AI shouldn’t feel intimidating or exclusive,” Chioma explains. “Our goal is to make advanced technology feel like an extra pair of hands for small business owners.”
With over 12 years of experience across banking, marketing, and product management, Chioma brings a multidisciplinary lens to building AI tools. Before founding Buzn AI, she worked with SMEs and creative startups in Africa, Europe, and North America, helping them implement automation and data-driven marketing systems — experiences that revealed a major gap: too many tools, not enough usability.
Buzn AI began as a small creator community in 2022 and evolved into a full SaaS platform that merges AI-powered trend research, content planning, and automated publishing into a single workspace — replacing the multiple tools entrepreneurs were struggling with.
“Building Buzn AI isn’t just about automating marketing,” she says. “It’s about giving small creators a chance to compete globally, with tools designed for them, not against them.”
Her long-term vision is to grow Buzn AI into creative operations suite that merges content strategy, community growth, and monetization analytics, enabling SMEs worldwide to scale their digital presence without large teams or budgets.
“We want to see small businesses thrive, not drown in tools,” Chioma says. “If Buzn AI can give entrepreneurs their time back, that’s the real impact.”
Beyond building products, Chioma is shaping the next generation of innovators as a Technovation Girls Judge, where she mentors and evaluates global teams of young women developing AI and technology solutions for social impact.
By combining empathy with innovation, Chioma Ikeh isn’t just building a product — she’s redefining how small businesses harness artificial intelligence to tell their stories, reclaim their time, and thrive in the digital economy.
