[kictanet] Got talent? Matiang'i is looking for you

Sat Mar 22 17:09:23 EAT 2014

Martin,

The interesting bit is, and as you can see, we are struggling to name a few
successful 'mobile' companies that are maybe paying their bills. Maybe one
company here having downloable music, another there selling coupons in
town, another there showing farmers how much cabbages are going for in
town. Yes nice noble applications. And then there is this Kenyan guy in
Barcelona who 'claims', maybe he does, makes a few million shillings per
month, but what I would like to ask is this.

Have you heard of firms like:
Craft Silicon, PesaPal, Alliance Technologies, Seven Seas, TurnKey Africa,
MyStocks, TBM, Compulynx, AccessKenya, Wananchi Group, EIM, Coretec,
Octagon Data Systems,  KAPS etc?

These are technology firms, founded here in Kenya by Kenyans and today ,
year-in-year out, have combined revenues exceeding Ksh 5B, and employing
thousands of techies.

I think if we as a country wanted to invest into the technology industry,
it would be good to pick from the lessons learnt by these firms in order to
push them to higher heights as well as pull in more newer and younger
companies that would fill in the slots.

But, somehow, somewhere, someone, without much thought, wanted this country
to be the next silicon valley. His Answer; let us develop mobile apps and
BPOs. Industries in which there was not even a precedent and success
stories to talk about locally.

And thus, every investment coin the country has had to invest in
technology, is being spent in an incubation lab somewhere, trying to make
the next iCow, instead of maybe having a serious conversation with say
Richard Bell of Wananchi and asking him what do we need to do to make Zuku
a bigger brand than DSTV in Africa in 10 years, as an example.

So, what has our investment got us? Developers who are so spoilt with money
and easy options each making a single little feature, calls it the next big
thing in mobile, wins a mobile-competition somewhere, and that's the last
your hear of them, until their next 'big' idea or until there is a call for
the next competition with anyone with 'Talent'.

If there is something in common with the firms that I have mentioned above,
is that we *all* learnt how to be cash-flow positive from the word go. We
started by making applications the market was ready to buy, and then we
moved on from there.

I do remember when AccessKenya used to operate from a single room in Wabera
Street, in early 2000s. But one thing I can tell you, that first leased
line they had, someone paid for it, and then they became 2, 3... and the
rest is history they say...

Guys, that is how you build industries, a step at a time.

Regards
Waithaka Ngigi
