MEET THE FOUNDER
Built with intention, from Nigeria.
Bent was created by Ikueze Excel, a Nigerian product engineer building thoughtful digital experiences around real, locally understood needs.
Ikueze Excel
Founder & Product Engineer
Ikueze leads Bent's product design, engineering and technical direction. Bent began with a simple conviction: queer people in Nigeria deserve a more private, community-oriented way to connect, socialize and date—one designed with their actual context in mind.
The work behind Bent combines product thinking, software engineering and a commitment to building technology that feels useful, considered and human.
"Bent is being built carefully, with privacy, community and local context at its centre."
