The Algerian startup CONNECTYA has officially launched WeshDZ, a new social network designed to be a dedicated space for Algerian voices and innovation. The launch is being championed by a key investor, the Algerian Startup Fund (ASF), which announced it has also joined the platform to support its growth.
A Social Network with a Local Identity
WeshDZ aims to provide a unique digital space for the Algerian community. The name itself is a nod to local culture, combining the common Algerian greeting “Wesh” with “DZ,” the country’s internet domain and international abbreviation. The platform’s mission is to become a leading digital hub for Algerian ideas, content, and community interaction.

The Algerian Startup Fund (ASF), a major investor in CONNECTYA, is playing an active role in the platform’s launch. In a public show of support, the fund announced it has created an official presence on WeshDZ to enhance its connection with the local digital and entrepreneurial community. This move highlights the ASF’s commitment to not only financing but also actively promoting its portfolio companies.
