The first quarter of 2025 has been a tough one for Kenya’s tech ecosystem.

I have to say this is nonsense 😤
Lori should have taken less money and undervalued themselves. If they had done that there would not have had that slash happen and they would have had a higher valuaton in the second round (which is the one that matter the most) thus cementing their growth. Look at Leta, that is what they did!

nice video. Enjoying your channel. A suggestion, presenters can practise before hand, see other presenters' videos, an engaging discussion. Female presenter just stares into the camera while Enock is explaining. Enock is good just needs more volume and flowing language, less "Ummms"
Laughing at startups failing is ridiculous. Anyone who's started a business knows how difficult it is. Y'all need empathy.
Not Startup Founders a good number of them are Money grifters
