Most Kenyan tech events are run by failed founders who realized it’s easier to sell tickets and recycle generic startup talk than to actually build. We don’t have a tech scene. We have a conference circuit.
I was looking for jobs, trying to figure out where I fit, but I realized something: I don’t have the “connections” people talk about. My parents are simple, straight up people. They never built a network or had the kind of contacts that could open doors for me.
