Habari, Nicholus Abuor here. Tip moja rahisi kwa startups za Africa: before you build a fancy app, angalia kama unaweza kutatua problem with a simple USSD or WhatsApp flow. Wateja wengi wako hapo, na ni cheaper kuanza. Build where the people already are.
Before you start working, write down the one task that would make today feel like a win. Do that first, before email or messages. Everything else can wait its turn.

They come from people who have seen you solve something. less
Quick tip for anyone job hunting in Kenya: before you apply, spend ten minutes on the company's recent news or projects. Mentioning one specific detail in your cover letter shows genuine interest and helps you stand out from generic applications.

One tip that changed my hiring: write the job ad around the problem the new hire will solve, not a list of tasks. You will get fewer applications, but the right ones. What's your go-to tip?
