IPO48 platform’s most active user from Kenya has undoubtedly been Mr. Majani from Ghafla! which was one of the two startups that got a surprise investment from the 88mph investors. Majani had the “mic” for voicing the experience thus far.
“For me, the main benefit I observed prior to the event was the exposure to other more experienced internet entrepreneurs. We don’t have many of those in Kenya, since the internet industry is still coming up,” Majani claims.

“During the event, that was actually the first high-pressure situation Lyosi Mwedekeli and I had faced, so we learned how to handle that sort of situation.”
After the event, during the Quartz+Co workshop, Majani says they really benefitted from learning how to formalize their business process. Which is exactly what Ghafla! is implementing right now.
