About ZENAPLAY
The name ZENAPLAY is drawn from the Amharic word “Zena” (ዝና) and a simple promise to players — Relax. Play. Win. It is a browser-based H5 (HTML5) gaming ecosystem built to become the leading casual and social gaming platform in Ethiopia, and in time across East Africa, by removing the two biggest barriers to mobile gaming in emerging markets: device storage limits and app-install friction.
ZENAPLAY is developed and operated under FidelFlow Ventures, the venture-building arm of FidelFlow Group. This gives the platform shared corporate infrastructure, governance, and capital discipline, while operating with the focus and speed of an independent product company.
Our vision
To become the number one home-grown digital entertainment platform in Ethiopia and East Africa — making casual gaming instantly accessible to every mobile user, regardless of device, storage capacity, or banking access.
Our mission
We build and operate a scalable, secure, and locally relevant H5 gaming ecosystem that:
- Removes the friction of app downloads by delivering games instantly through the browser.
- Integrates with local mobile-money infrastructure so any mobile subscriber can pay and be paid without a bank card.
- Creates sustainable revenue for local and regional game developers through a fair, transparent revenue-sharing model.
- Reflects Ethiopian and East African culture through original, locally themed game content.
Core values
Local relevance

Partnership over extraction

Disciplined execution
Every phase of the roadmap is scoped, resourced, and measured against explicit KPIs before the next begins.
