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>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.<br>
