[kictanet] Not all are cut out for business

[Muchiri Nyaggah]

+1 Agosta. Just had a chat with a startup providing value added services
platforms to telcos. I hope to interview the CEO of MDSA another young firm
in the same space which has become a multi million dollar business in just
a couple of years. Hardly any young techies in the usual circuit have heard
of these tech startups. They could teach the tech community a thing or two.
