font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'>The Kenyan technology and new
media sector is buzzing. In Kenya, over 80% of citizens have access to a mobile
phone and internet connectivity is expanding across the country. Solutions like
mPesa have revolutionized the day-to-day life of Kenyans bringing financial
services to anyone with a mobile phone. With the increasing use of technology
for business and lifestyle comes the opportunity to build vibrant businesses to
deliver technology solutions that will capitalize on the expanding demand for
mobile and internet services.<br>
<br>
Technology entrepreneurs are seizing the opportunity and are ready to develop
their ideas and launch their products in the Kenyan and global market. But for
many 'techpreneurs', finding the funding to grow sometimes risky and
complicated technology-based companies has been a difficult--until now.<br>
<br>
<strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>On October 18, six
companies will pitch their ideas to a panel of Venture Capitalists. In front of
a live audience, each company will have 20 minutes to pursued the VC panel that
their company is worth investing in.</span></strong><o:p></o:p></span></p>
